Ok. This is a BIG ONE.
This week’s guest is Dr Lindsay C. Gibson: A clinical psychologist and bestselling author who specializes in helping people identify and deal with emotionally immature people, or EIP’s.
Her book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents was a breakthrough best-seller.
And she’s since followed it with a series of popular, related books, including: Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents, Self-Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, and her latest work, Disentangling from Emotionally Immature People.
Dr Gibson has been featured on some really huge platforms - like the Ten Percent Happier podcast - and her interview also happened to be one of their most popular episodes.
It was such a privilege to chat with her.
Our conversation focused specifically on dealing with EIPs in the workplace.
We covered:
How Dr Gibson defines Emotionally Immature People (EIPs)
And how to spot them in the wilds.
How emotionally immature behavior might manifest at work.
The workplace dynamics and patterns that Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents can be especially mindful of.
How to spot an EIP in a job interview. (Hint: They don’t seem to have time for your questions. You already feel like a burden.)
