Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
In this group therapy for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, participants share experiences and support each other in processing the effects of growing up with emotionally unavailable caregivers. Key goals include understanding the impact of childhood experiences, building emotional awareness, breaking dysfunctional patterns, fostering healthier relationships, and developing self-compassion. The group dynamic creates a supportive, validating environment where participants feel understood, helping them release guilt or shame and embrace healing. This therapy offers a powerful space for personal growth and emotional recovery.
