How do children react to an emotionally immature parent?
How do children react to emotionally immature parenting?
What is a role self? Who is an internalizer? What are the characteristics of an externalizer?

In this video I talk about how different children react to emotionally immature parenting.
Some create healing fantasies and others develop a role self, so that they can survive the conditions of their childhood.
I also address how children cope with emotionally immature parents, by either becoming internalizers or externalizers.

This series is based on "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Dr. Lindsay Gibson.
