Have you always played the role as the caretaker of your family? Are you described as “the strong one”? Are you looking for an anti-oppressive resource on parentification and childhood trauma? Are you a mental health provider who works with parentified children?

Healing From Parentification is a 60-page workbook and literature review that explores parentification with a systems theory framework and an anti-oppressive lens.

Here, you’ll find empirical evidence of the real life impacts that parentification has on children, a deep dive on the systemic barriers that create the conditions for parentification, vignettes that illustrate instrumental and emotional parentification, and opportunities for your own personal reflection via journal prompts throughout.

This is a resource for the adult parentified child who is recognizing that they were too young to be burdened with adult responsibilities and is on a path towards true personal healing and collective liberation.

  • "This workbook is an incredibly thoughtful, nuanced, and beautiful exploration of parentification trauma. Emily weaves together the intersections between personal and familial dynamics and larger systems of oppression in a way that truly captures the complexity of parentification and family dynamics. This workbook guides the reader through an experience that is both deeply educational and engaging, while also supporting meaningful introspection and self-reflection. It paints a vivid picture of how our personal wounds are shaped and influenced by the larger world, while illuminating the many ways parentification trauma can show up in our mental health, relationships, and day-to-day lives. I can’t recommend this resource enough."

  • "This workbook provides an accessible way of understanding a messy and complicated experience. Not only does it encourage us to look at the impacts parentification has on our relationships to ourselves and others, but it also helps us see that parentification is born of systemic abuse and neglect. The journal prompts in this book are so intentional and already have me thinking about how intergenerational parentification is in my family. Thank-you Emily for such an incredible workbook!"
