ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast

Psychotherapist Sian Morgan Crossley discusses emotionally immature parenting—characterized by lack of emotional skills rather than objective abuse—and how it manifests as invalidation, lack of emotional connection, and parentification. She explains that healing requires grieving and acceptance before forgiveness, prioritizing one's own emotional experience initially, and building four foundations of emotionally mature parenting: emotional regulation, self-awareness, empathy/attunement, and secure boundaries.
