If you were told that you were “too much,” “dramatic,” or “the issue” -

There’s a good chance you grew up with an emotionally immature parent (EIP)

So instead of discovering who you really are, you learn to:
- Hide your feelings
- Silence your needs
- Second-guess yourself
- Handle everything on your own

NONE of this is your fault - it was SURVIVAL

Healing starts when you finally have a space where your feelings - and your story - are welcomed instead of dismissed

✨That’s exactly what we do inside the Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) Support & Skills Group - a safe place to reconnect with yourself, learn coping tools your parent never taught you, and feel deeply understood by people who get it

🗓 Group starts 2/23 at 12pm CST

You don’t have to figure this out alone anymore 💚

The thing is - these aren’t big asks…

They’re quiet, foundational forms of emotional safety and connection

When they’re missing, you grow up feeling like something is wrong with YOU, not your parent...

And you build your whole adulthood around surviving - instead of truly living

✨If some of these experiences were missing from your childhood, it makes sense that adulthood feels confusing, heavy, and lonely

Healing starts with naming what you missed

Which is exactly what we cover in the Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) Support & Skills Group -

This is a safe space to learn how to reconnect to your real self, build new coping skills, and finally feel seen, supported, and understood

We start 2/23/2026 at 12pm CST

Before all the “but they’re your parents!” comments start rolling in -

This is not true for ALL emotionally immature parents (EIPs)…

But it IS TRUE for many, though

If this is true for YOU, you’re in the right place

You’re also NOT “too sensitive”, or a bad, ungrateful, or mean person for feeling this way!

Hi 👋🏼 I’m Katie - a Minnesota base, marriage, family therapist who helps you get the support and actual TOOLS to unpack and move forward from the painful impact of emotionally immature parenting so you can:

- stop second-guessing yourself
- set boundaries that actually
- confidently dodged their emotional drama
- finally get to know and understand yourself

✨If this sounds like what you want more of this year, comment “2026” to get started

Does your parent claim they’ve done everything to fix the relationship- but nothing that would actually help?

You’re not alone

And you don’t have to make sense of it or I’ve forward alone

If this resonates, I support adults healing from emotionally immature parents (EIPs) through therapy, coaching, and support groups

Let’s make this the year your finally say yes to YOU and creating a life you want, versus catering to what your parent needs

🤔Isn’t it ironic?

Some emotionally immature parents (EIPs) expect you to “act like the adult” even though THEY:

💥 Avoid accountability
💥 Have bigger tantrums than your 3 year old
💥 Never modeled - or taught - you the skills it actually takes to adult

If you were expected to grow up without guidance and tools, that wasn’t a failure on your part - it was a GAP in their parenting

✨ That’s exactly what my Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents is for:

You’ll get the validation, tools, and real-life skills your parents couldn’t give you - so that you can STOP parenting yourself alone and start feeling more clear and confident as an adult

We start next Tuesday, 2/3/2026!

P.S. You aren’t behind and there’s nothing wrong with you - you were just unsupported

I’m feeling so much heaviness as I write this post

And I’m guessing you are, too

At the stage of life I’m in - parenting little kids- it’s easy to tell myself I’m not doing enough because I’m not out there protesting or delivering food to those who are afraid to leave their house

But I know that my job as a parent IS enough

Parenting IS activism

Parenting IS political

And there are also other ways I CAN offer support:
- Calling my senators and applying pressure for change
- Supporting businesses that are standing up for basic human rights
- Sending $ to organizations devoted to helping those in need
- Supporting my clients through this chaos

We all play a role, and no role is ‘better’ than another role

You are doing enough and you are enough💚

‼️Sometimes low/no contact isn’t a CONSCIOUS choice you make👇🏽

Sometimes your PARENT chooses to distance themselves - because you set a boundary that INTERRUPTS with a dynamic that only worked when you stayed quiet and easy to control

Maybe they are giving you the silent treatment or excluding you from the family chats/plans

Know this➡️ Their reaction is INFORMATION - NOT a verdict on you

It reflects their capacity (or lack thereof) - NOT your worth

If this resonates, you’re not alone - and you don’t have to keep trying to make sense of it alone

✨ I’m currently enrolling for my Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents ⬇️

This 8-week online group takes you step-by step through the skills and insights you need to understand + navigate this difficult parent relationship, while giving you the support and validation you need to speak your truth and rebuild your confidence - and your life - even if your parent never changes

🗓️The next group starts February 2026

‼️Here’s what they’re really asking you to do:

Pretend nothing happened so they can stay comfortable

REAL repair requires:
✅Acknowledgment of the harm they caused
✅Validation of your experience
✅Consistent changed behavior

Control sounds like:
💥“Why can’t you just let it go?”
💥“You’re too sensitive.”
💥“Let’s just move forward.”

If you grew up with an emotionally immature parent (EIP) you were taught that your PAIN was the PROBLEM -

…not their BEHAVIOR

And unlearning that alone is painful and exhausting

You don’t need to forgive to heal

You need understanding, support, and space to tell the truth

✨ That’s exactly what we do inside my online Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents:

👉🏽Comment “START” if you’re ready to stop carrying this by yourself and start healing in a space where you’re believed, supported, and not pressured to “get over it”

We start next Tuesday, 2/3 at 12pm CST - there’s still space for you to join

“You can tell me anything!”

This is one of the biggest LIES some emotionally immature parents (EIPs) say to their kids

Instead of learning honesty = safe, you learn:

🔺Words can - and will - be used against you

This isn’t about connecting with you - it’s about CONTROLLING you

✨If you want support and tools to unpack and heal from the negative impact your parent has had - and still has - on your life, here’s how I can support you:

💚 Virtual Therapy/coaching: for individuals/couples/families in Minnesota and worldwide

💚 Virtual Support Groups:

1. Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) Support Group starts 2/2/2026

2. Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents starts 2/3/2026

💥You can’t see the dysfunction clearly when you were raised inside it👇🏽

When you grow up with emotionally immature parents (EIPs), you NORMALIZE what you had to SURVIVE

Until someone else hears your story…

and reflects back the TRUTH

It can change EVERYTHING - the way you see yourself, your parent, and your entire childhood

And it can be uncomfortable af trying to make sense of it - and figure out what to do now

This is where I can help -

Hi 👋🏼 I’m Katie - a Minnesota-based therapist and coach who helps adults like you unpack their past and their complicated relationships with their parent - and get actionable tools to move forward with more clarity, direction, and confidence

✨Registration is now open for the virtual Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, and there’s still space to join

We start 2/3/2026

‼️Going no-contact isn’t about being “selfish”

It’s about finally making room for peace, freedom, and healing

💚 If this resonates, my online Support Group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents is here to help you feel less alone and more equipped to navigate this difficult relationship with your parent
