Read me, please!


Oh hi, Reader!

I’m sliding into your inbox with a reminder.

My email series is back, and this round is all about handling emotionally immature parents and healing the damage their behavior left behind.

If you don’t remember signing up for anything from me, allow me to re-introduce myself:

Hi! I’m Morgan Pommells.

I’m a therapist, coach, and doctoral researcher, and I help you break free from the parental programming that claims you're never enough so you can finally feel lovable and confident in who you are.

The fact that you're here on my list tells me two things:

1.) You’re tired of feeling lost and alone in this struggle, like you’re somehow always the "bad guy," no matter what.

2.) You’re looking for practical strategies that actually work—ways to get off the rumination rollercoaster and survive having an emotionally immature parent in your life, minus the people-pleasing or anger spiral that drains you week after week.

Trust me, I get it.

Not in a “read-it-in-a-textbook” way but more like, “I was literally you ten years ago” type of way.

Today, I help others unpack that same childhood baggage—as both a therapist and someone who’s lived through the gut-wrenching anxiety of an emotionally immature parent or narcissistic in-law walking into the room.

Over the next ten weeks, I'll be sharing emails to help you understand why your parent’s emotional immaturity keeps you stuck (hint: it's not because you're not trying hard enough) and, more importantly, how to break free—without the guilt or backlash.

You can expect ZERO ‘just set boundaries!’ advice.

And no ‘they did their best’ platitudes that only leave you feeling more alone and misunderstood, either.

Just practical strategies for real-life situations—like what to actually say when your mom's passive-aggressive comments about your parenting have you ready to snap.

After we dive into those strategies, I am going to share more with you about my upcoming LIVE masterclass, Protect Your Peace.

You might’ve already heard about it—it went viral last holiday season when hundreds of people, just like you, realized that the usual pop psychology tools shared on social media only make things worse when dealing with emotionally immature people.

This year in Protect Your Peace, we’ll dive into how to stay safe when your parent’s behavior pulls you back into old patterns. You’ll learn how to protect and care for yourself—even when they push your buttons—so that their words and actions lose the power they once had.

And yes, that's absolutely possible for you. I help people reach this stage of healing every single day.

If this sounds good to you, this next step is very important:

  1. First, please reply, "Yes" back to this email.
  2. Next, if this email lands in your Spam or Promotions folder, please move it to your 'Primary' inbox.

Okay, that's it! I can't wait to get into this with you.

When Jennifer* first came to me, she was convinced she had a communication problem. Her partner never listened. She believed that if she could just find the right way to say...

"I swear to God, I'm going to lose my mind," Jennifer* announced as her video popped up on my screen. "Do you know what I did this morning? Before my 8AM board meeting? Before my investor call?" She didn’t wait for my response. "I bought his mother's birthday card. AGAIN. Because apparently, a seven-figure CEO still needs me to remind him about his own mother's birthday. And the worst part? His sister called to thank him for the ‘thoughtful’ card. And he just said, ‘you’re welcome.’" Her...

When you grow up with an Emotionally Immature Parent, being yourself isn’t an option. Instead, you build what I call a Survivor Self—a version of you that’s smaller, quieter, and “appropriate enough” to finally earn their love and attention. This happens due to something called Projective Identification—a concept at the heart of what I teach in Protect Your Peace. (FYI, if you haven’t already, sign up now for Protect Your Peace before it’s gone in just 72 hours!) Projective identification...
