Caring For Emotionally Immature Parents w/ Heather Gray

In this episode of The Caregiver’s Podcast, Dr. Mark sits down with licensed mental health professional Heather Gray to discuss a complex and often silent struggle: caregiving for an emotionally immature or "emotionally limited" parent.

When a parent lacks the capacity to meet their child's emotional needs, the wounds don't simply disappear with age. In fact, the transition into a caregiving role can often reactivate old survival modes, scan the nervous system for threats, and feel like an act of self-betrayal. Heather helps us navigate the "treacherous waters" of setting boundaries, choosing care over duty, and why the most powerful tool for a caregiver is self-honesty.
