About author(s): Lindsay C.
Let this book guide you toward a new way of being.
But there\'s another way to go through life--one in which you can take care of yourSelf , first and foremost.
And you are taught that empathy and emotional awareness are liabilities, rather than assets.
You are taught to seek approval instead of authenticity in relationships.
But when you grow up with Emotionally Immature parents, you are taught that setting limits is Self ish and uncaring.
Self-Care means honoring and respecting the self.
Most importantly, you\'ll learn how to stop putting others\' needs before Your own, and manage daily stressors with competence, clarity, and optimism.
You\'ll discover how to protect yourSelf from hurtful behavior, stop making excuses for others\' limitations, forge healthier relationships, and feel more confident in Your life.
In this compassionate guide--written just for you , not them--you\'ll find tips and tools to help you set boundaries with others, Honor and validate Your emotions, and thrive in the face of life\'s challenges.
And without this strong sense of self, you may feel like Your own well-being isn\'t valuable.
Somewhere along the way, you lost Your sense of Self .
As a child, Your emotional needs were not met, Your feelings were dismissed, and you likely took on Adult levels of responsibility in an effort to compensate for Your parent\'s behavior.
If you grew up with an Emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you probably still struggle with anger, sadness, resentment, or shame.
