Intentions matter, but they’re not the whole story.

Emotionally immature people often focus on what they meant to do, not the impact of what actually happened. But in healthy relationships, good intentions are just the starting point. The next step is accountability and change.

In this week's episode, I am joined by Dr. Lindsay Gibson to unpack emotional immaturity, how it shows up in relationships, and what real growth and repair actually look like. You can watch the episode here: youtube.com/watch?v=7AoDg88GVkc

Dr. Lindsay Gibson is a clinical psychologist and the author of the Emotional Immaturity series of books, including her bestseller Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.
