You’ve probably come across the term “emotionally immature parent” before—maybe in a TikTok or a YouTube video, maybe a friend mentioned it, or perhaps your own therapist has used the phrase. If you’re unsure what it really means, or if it’s slipped from memory, we want to offer some clarity. We'll break down what emotional immaturity in a parent looks like, how it impacts those of us who experience it, and what might contribute to this pattern from the parent’s side.

There is a quiet but persistent misconception that losing a pet is somehow less of a loss. The loss of a pet can be profound and deeply felt by those affected. For many, pets are sources of friendship, comfort, and daily connection. When that bond is lost, the grief is real and significant.

As therapists, we endeavor to be open-minded and accepting of the therapeutic process, which means divesting from certain expectations about what should happen or take place. That said, all therapists come to expect that a part of therapy will involve addressing myths or misinformation about therapy.

Providing education about coping skills and a given diagnosis is just as essential as explaining why something a person believed to be true may not be. With that in mind, we want to try something new with a series we're dubbing “Clearing the Couch.” We're hoping to clarify and debunk myths about therapy and mental health more broadly.
