As an adult child, learn to cope with your emotions and the grief and sadness, challenge your self-talk and insecurities, manage distress, foster resilience and make lifestyle and relationship changes.

You are not alone ♡

Are you an adult child of a parent that had to listen to the belittling and criticisms till you are an adult? You had to endure the silent treatments or undeserved anger? You’ve tried to communicate rationally, but it does not get anywhere and they become the ‘victim’?

Growing up with emotionally immature parents can have lasting effects on your emotional development and relationships, often extending into your adulthood. Emotionally immature parents struggle to provide consistent emotional support, have difficulty regulating their own emotions, and may place their own needs and feelings above those of your own. As a result, you often carry feelings of confusion, frustration, and emotional neglect into your adult life.

You probably had to even take the role of a parent.

As an adult you may feel responsible for your parents’ emotional well-being, grappling with low self-esteem, or experiencing difficulty in forming healthy relationships. You may also struggle with setting boundaries or processing unresolved anger and hurt. Therapy offers a way to heal from the wounds of growing up in an emotionally immature household.

With our experienced therapist in Burlington, you will learn to identify patterns of behavior influenced by your upbringing, develop healthier coping and regulating strategies, and choose whether you want to establish stronger emotional boundaries with your parents and others. By processing the grief of unmet childhood needs, you can move toward greater self-compassion, emotional independence, and healthier relationships. Therapy helps break the cycle of emotional immaturity and fosters a greater sense of emotional balance and fulfillment.
