4 signs your parents are still emotionally immature

Описание: One of the first steps of healing and building resiliency as an adult of a painful childhood is through compassionately loving yourself. It's crucial for you to have self-compassion and be present to yourself when emotionally immature parents are unable to be there for you. Whether your parent's behavior is self-involved or rejecting, whether they ignore you and your needs, start by healing yourself through reparenting your inner child with self-compassion.

What does it mean to have self-compassion? It means being kind to yourself when you are struggling or having a hard time. It means accepting that you may feel helpless or lonely at times when your parent is unable to give you what you need. Being present to your own emotions and pain when your parent is clueless about how to be present to you and your experience is having compassion for your experience.

Being kind to yourself will help buffer the hard truth that you cannot change them, only yourself and your response.
