Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

I read this as a client told me they found it useful. I see a lot of overlap/different languaging with codependency but I can see it as a useful framework especially for understanding some of the roots of codependency and perhaps a bit more...‘bite-size' in a way. I'm yet unsure whether it poses the work as more simplistic or if there's something I read into that from the audiobook reader's tones and inflection. Either way, it's nice to have another language for clients who may not resonate with codependency as much. Frequently there's benefit to hearing the same thing 10 different ways when it's something we need to grasp, and validating the experience. I do think the two work well hand in hand together, as one client told me her takeaway from this book was “create distance”...it can be more complex than that. This is one I will keep referring to clients, though.
