So I recently had a trauma specialist tell me I probably have CPTSD (lots of low-grade trauma, won't get into it). I started reading the book "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" and lowkey felt like I had an epiphany. Obviously, not everything in the book applied to my situation, but it was wild reading it because some parts felt like I was reading an exact description of my childhood. Also, the part about "internalizers" and "externalizers" felt like a weirdly accurate description of my dad and my mom (respectively), and gave me a new understanding of my parents' divorce.

Anyone read this book? What are your thoughts on it? Did it help, and do you feel it was accurate? I recognize that "Popular Psychology" books are not always the best or super accurate, but because this was written by a therapist I felt good about reading it, but then again I'm by no means in a position to judge the accuracy of a psych book because I have zero training in psychology.
