    [music] Hey, it's Sana Qadar. Couple of questions for you. Did you grow up with parents you could reasonably describe as emotionally immature? Are you worried you're becoming an emotionally immature parent yourself? And are you keen to raise emotionally mature children? Well, we have an upcoming episode of All in the Mind that we would love your input on and your questions for. It's with Dr. Lindsay Gibson, who you might remember from our twenty twenty-one episode that was titled "The Damage Done by Emotionally Immature Parents and How to Heal."
