S2E9 with Dr. Lindsay C. Gibson, author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

Ok. This is a BIG ONE.

This week’s guest is Dr Lindsay C. Gibson: A clinical psychologist and bestselling author who specializes in helping people identify and deal with emotionally immature people, or EIP’s.

Her book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents was a breakthrough best-seller.

And she’s since followed it with a series of popular, related books, including: Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents, Self-Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, and her latest work, Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People.

Dr Gibson has been featured on some really huge platforms - like the Ten Percent Happier podcast  - and her interview also happened to be one of their most popular episodes.

It was such a privilege to chat with her.

Our conversation focused specifically on dealing with EIPs in the workplace.

We covered:

• How Dr Gibson defines Emotionally Immature People (EIPs)
• And how to spot them in the wilds.
• How emotionally immature behavior might manifest at work.
• The workplace dynamics and patterns that Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents can be especially mindful of.
• How to spot an EIP in a job interview. (Hint: They don’t seem to have time for your questions. You already feel like a burden.)
