126 Self-Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents with Dr. Lindsay Gibson
Unapologetically Sensitive
02/15/22 • 55 min
Dr. Lindsay Gibson, author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, and Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents talks about self-care in regards to self-confidence, security, self-connection, self-awareness and emotional self-protection. She talks about how being an adult child impacts a person’s choices and behaviors in relationships. She also talks about how sensitivity can affect a person’s functioning in these areas.
GUEST
Lindsay Gibson, PsyD.
HIGHLIGHTS
Here are some of the questions Dr. Gibson responds to:
Tell us about your most recent book Self Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents . Why did you write this book?
The book has three main sections: what are they, and what can readers expect to get from each topic? Why might adult children of emotionally immature parents (ACEIPs )find these topics especially meaningful?
How do you see sensitivity as a trait possibly affecting a person's functioning in these areas?
Do you see a connection between sensitivity and an ACEIPs feelings of security and self-confidence?
You've mentioned that ACEIPs have been taught not to trust themselves or their self-awareness. Could you talk about this a bit more?
In the book you've talked about the importance of emotional self-protection. Can you explain what that means exactly?
You talk about the crucial importance of a person's inner self-connection. Why do you make that idea such a central focus?
How do these issues affect a person's choices and behaviors in relationship?

Practicing Self Trust as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
GUEST
Solo episode
EPISODE OVERVIEW
Learning to listen to yourself as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) can be challenging. When do you push and when do you rest? Your perception of yourself may be different than how others see you. I talk about feeling stuck, needing support, asking for help, and having someone remind me that I do better than I think I do when my husband goes out of town. It’s ok to have human responses to things. I talk about learning to thrive as a Highly Sensitive Person.

134 Practicing Self-Compassion when Perfection, Competing Needs and Burnout are Present
Unapologetically Sensitive
04/12/22 • 27 min
Practicing Self-Compassion when Perfection, Competing Needs and Burnout are Present
It can be hard having needs; not getting your needs met; having to compromise around your needs. This can activate attachment injuries, that can cause or exacerbate depression, anxiety, burnout and self-doubt. How do you take care of yourself? How do you bring in self-compassion and self-trust? Do you believe that if you do things a certain way, you can protect yourself from having doubts or negative feelings? I talk about how this showed up for me. I was embarrassed to share it.

125 Sitting with Intense Feelings, AND Noticing What’s Right
Unapologetically Sensitive
02/08/22 • 25 min
Sitting with Intense Feelings, AND Noticing What’s Right.
GUEST
Solo episode
EPISODE OVERVIEW
I got my feelings hurt a few times this past week, and it’s been hard. I spent 3 days crying, and it triggered some trauma from my past. This was NOT my baseline, but I was incredibly sensitive and kept getting my feelings hurt. I was also able to feel the connection and support I had at the same time. Intensity can be confused with being hard or not manageable. I talk about ways to manage both the strong feelings, and using tools to get through times that are intense and full of big feelings.
