Welcome to the Wellbeing Weekly, where we share one video, one book passage, and one Workshop to propel you forward in your healing journey
Video: Why Validation Matters
In this week's video, psychologist Lindsay C. Gibson offers clarity on the often-asked question: Are we being too critical of emotionally immature parents? Dr. Gibson offers insights for those affected by their parents' emotional immaturity, as well as for anyone working on their own, while emphasizing the significance of validating personal emotions.
This video is a must-watch for anyone seeking to understand the delicate balance between empathy for parents and self-validation in the face of emotional immaturity.
Quote: Do You Have The Courage?
From the winner of our community vote and now our official April Book Of The Month: The Courage To Be Disliked outlines a path to overcoming the fear of being judged and beginning to live a truly authentic life. The only question is: are you feeling brave?
Workshop: Emotionally Immature Parents Q&A & Somatic Healing
This Tuesday, the Academy of Self Help will be welcoming back Lindsay C. Gibson for an hour-long Q&A answering all your questions about emotional immaturity, repairing relationships (or not), and the path to reconnecting with your truest self.
Immediately following the Q&A, therapist Nicole Johnson (who you can now find as the first “blurb” in Dr. Gibson’s new Adult Children Of Emotionally Immature Parents Guided Journal) will be hosting a Workshop on Somatic Healing, helping us integrate our insights into a physical sense of wellbeing.
As always, the session will be recorded for Academy members to replay at any time so no matter when you join, you'll always get full access to our library of more than 100+ recorded self-healing Workshops by mental health professionals.
