You may have learned to suppress your needs, become self-reliant early, or stay emotionally guarded to maintain stability in your family system. Many participants carry chronic guilt, difficulty trusting their emotions, confusion around intimacy, or a persistent sense of being unseen.
This group uses the emotionally immature parent framework to help you understand how early relational dynamics shaped attachment patterns, trauma responses, and adult relationships. Cultural dynamics such as filial obligation, silence, loyalty, emotional restraint, and intergenerational trauma are explored directly and respectfully.
This group is grounded in the Lindsay Gibson framework. It is peer-supported and facilitated by clinicians trained directly by the author and certified in this model, with additional training in attachment-based and trauma-informed care.
Emotional neglect and emotional immaturity are the focus of this group. While some participants may also have histories of overt abuse, this space centers on the impact of emotional unavailability, inconsistency, role reversal, and lack of attunement. Participants seeking support primarily for physical or sexual abuse may benefit from individual therapy in addition to or instead of group support.
