It Wasn’t Your Job to Be the Adult

A Trauma-Informed Workshop for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

You were never meant to carry it all.

If you grew up with emotionally immature, unavailable, or self-absorbed parents, you may have stepped into the role of “the responsible one” far too early. You may still find yourself over-functioning, people-pleasing, or unsure where your needs even begin.

This trauma-informed workshop is for adult children who are ready to name their experiences, reconnect with their inner selves, and start releasing the roles that helped them survive—but no longer serve them.

This Workshop Is For You If:

  • You felt emotionally neglected or invisible as a child

  • You were the fixer, peacekeeper, or emotional caregiver in your family

  • You struggle with guilt when setting boundaries

  • Resting feels unsafe—but burnout feels like home

  • You’ve read the books, but need a space to actually process and feel

What You’ll Learn + Practice

We’ll explore:

  • Emotionally immature parenting: what it is + how it impacts you

  • Attachment wounds: how they show up in adult relationships

  • Nervous system awareness + regulation tools

  • How to set boundaries without guilt

  • Reconnecting with your inner child with compassion and care

  • Releasing the trauma of over-functioning

  • Making peace with imperfection, slowness, and self-kindness

What You'll Walk Away With

  • More clarity around your story and survival strategies

  • Practical tools to soothe anxiety and shame

  • A deeper connection to your needs—and permission to honor them

  • The sense that you're not alone in this

  • A gentle plan for what healing looks like after awareness
