Shownotes

Check out today's episode as we discuss emotionally immature parents. What do we do when our parents are less mature than we are? Many people feel as if they have to be the adults in the room with their parents. Listen in as we discuss what emotional maturity really is and how childish behavior can handicap children.

Modern mental health issues can seem overwhelming and unable to be understood. Join Travis Thompson as he explores the different aspects of psychology and treatment in a variety of categories. Listen in to sort through the chaos of research and media to find your own healing and help those around you.

Travis Thompson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who practices in Middle Tennessee. He is a PhD candidate who works with clients from many backgrounds to find the deeper meaning of their struggles and embrace long-term recovery.
