Dan Harris is joined by Lindsay C. Gibson, a psychologist and author who specializes in helping people identify and deal with emotionally immature people, or EIP’s. She’s back to offer concrete strategies for handling the EIP’s in your life, wherever you may find them. In this episode we talk about: • A primer on the cardinal characteristics of emotionally immature people (EIP’s), how to spot them, and why you might want to • What Lindsay means by “disentangling” from EIP’s, and how to do it • What often happens to your own sense of self when you’re in relationship (or even just in conversation) with an EIP  • How to interact with an EIP  • How to prevent brain scramble when you’re talking with someone who isn’t making any attempt to understand what you’re saying   • How she reacts when she comes across EIP’s in her everyday life • Whether it’s possible to have some immature characteristics without being an EIP • Handling your own emotionally immature tendencies   • Whether or not EIP’s can change • The limits of estrangement • Why she encourages “alternatives to forgiveness” Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/lindsay-c-gibson-617 Learn more about Ten Percent Happier podcast at http://www.tenpercent.com/podcast.
