Bounce! Conversations with Larry Weeks


Interviews w/ authors, entrepreneurs, athletes and others on resilience, getting on or getting over life’s set ups and setbacks.

On the podcast Larry has in-depth conversations with notable people from a variety of fields and occupations; professors, entrepreneurs, athletes, physicians, etc, to get their stories or research on how to deal with or prepare for life’s challenges, stumbles, and stings. If research exists on how people bounce back, he talks about it. If there are physical practices, proven psychologies or philosophies that can help people build personal foundations before the storms come, he digs into it.

My guest is clinical psychologist and author Dr. Lindsay Gibson.

Dr. Gibson has two graduate degrees in clinical psychology, including a Doctorate of Psychology from the Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical Psychology – an Adjunct Professor for the College of William and Mary and Old Dominion University.

She has written a few best-sellers, including a series on dealing with emotionally immature people, the first of which is Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from the Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved.

On the podcast, Dr. Gibson sheds light on the high-conflict personality type and gives some great psychological and tactical advice for dealing with the emotionally immature.

On the show, we discuss

  • Why she wrote the book and its origins from her practice
  • EIP personality characteristics 
  • The single most essential factor in human relationships
  • How can I be sure I am emotionally mature 
  • The impact an EIP might have on you emotionally
  • Why an EIP is like they the way they are 
  • How to deal with an EIPs 
  • Where people go wrong in dealing with them
  • What your main goal should be in interacting with an EIP (good tips generally when caught in an argument with anyone)
