Game changer
Any additional comments?
I've struggled with feeling rejected in my family for decades. I spent a long time thinking it was my fault and felt powerless to change things.
This book is simple and profound. It's given me a clear lense through which to understand that my parents were in many ways immature and our whole family dynamic was highly akward and inappropriate. This book has helped me feel less at fault and more empowered to move on in healthy ways.
Highly recommended.

Great content.. Very relatable
As above. But I had to turn it off a few times as if she said the word emotional one more time, I'd become emotional. I know there's a clue in the title, but an ould thesaurus wouldn't have been too difficult to locate and navigate

Very good.
I was impressed with with this book - it really is helpful in developing an insightful understanding of how our parents behaviour can mishape ourselves. It's not a cure but it's another step on the road of ever increase knowledge.

Game changer in my healing and recovering of me!
I know more of who I am and why I have these needs that I have never had met, they are a deep yearning from my lack of emotional support and trauma.
I now feel I have all the tools in my toolbox to actually start living my life!!!
I am so glad I took the choice of self awareness.
I can now create a 2nd life.
Don't hesitate in getting this book.
I listened to a chapter at a time so that I could integrate and reflect on my own personal feelings.
edit the last three chapters one after the other because I was completely hooked it felt like I was shedding years of unnecessary fears and unconscious self imposed restrictions.

Insightful book well worth your time.
Very insightful listen for anyone who has come through the trauma of being at the wrong end of emotionally immature or unstable people, not just parents or parental figures.
It also helps hold a mirror to help you see and understand the patterns of your own behaviours, and needs. Finally helping you to recognise how to break out of the old and find new fulfilling and nurturing relationships to grow into.

Takes you on superb emotional journey
Be ready to feel so many mixed emotions. Sadness, anger, and somehow a huge sense of relieve. Sunday it all makes sense. I felt as if I was listening to my wise great friend who understands my pain.
If aren’t sure about getting this book, I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Enjoy the journey of meeting the real you soon.

Superb!
Speechless! The book has said it all. ;-) Very congruent 'audible' narration: voice and tone suits the content extremely well. Highly recommended. If it lands for you, it will land firmly, and with lasting impact.
