Free yourself from toxic parents.

If you or someone you love grew up with an emotionally unavailable, narcissistic, or selfish parent, you probably struggle with residual feelings of anger, abandonment, loneliness, or shame. For anyone who endured a nightmare or wasteland instead of a nurturing
childhood, The Toxic Parents Survival Guide offers the clinical insights and the day-to-day tools so you can break the chains of toxicity that bind you in a mess you didn’t create.

Psychologist Bryn Collins explores complicated relationships with emotionally unavailable parents. Whether they were unavailable because of addiction, mental illness, or being overly controlling or an iceberg, this imminently practical book will help validate your frustration and emotional struggles, help you set clear boundaries, and teach how to un-mesh yourself and move forward to a place of strength and peace without any guilt. Using case studies, quizzes, and jargon-free concepts, Collins profiles the most common types of toxic parents and offers the tactics and tools you need to change
and break free of these painful associations.

Your wounds can be healed and you can move forward. The Toxic Parents Survival Guide will help you find different ways of dealing with your parents’ painful legacy so that you don’t suffer and don’t pass along emotional unavailability to the next generation or your current relationships.
