Dealing With Emotional Growth In Adults

By Christopher Jackson


People who are emotional mature will be more content in life. They are able to be more focused in the home environment as well as in the work place. It can be easier to cope in relationships. It is easier to make day to day decisions, and there will be limited frustration in one's life. Emotional growth in adults, is therefore something to focus on.

For example, someone may be stuck in their life. It can happen after trauma. They may have been abused as a child. If they choose to block this out, they often just forget about it. However, one will always be stuck in this place, emotionally. A person like this will not be fully mature as someone who has grown up in a healthy environment. People are able to tell the difference.

People who have been exposed to trauma and who are not dealing with it will display this emotionally. They may be fearful in certain situations. They may display shame or guilt as well as anger. It can be difficult to know how to move forward when you are stuck like this, because when you have not advanced in life, you will struggle to make the right choices in your life.

Someone who is healthier will have moved on from this stage to an adult and will be able to make choices and decisions. They know about boundaries and about right from wrong. Someone else may rather turn to drugs and alcohol because this is their only coping mechanism. It keeps the pain away and they feel less confused.

When looking at a person who is emotionally immature, you may see them to be the party animal. They will be out every night and this will be the cycle. Some people will admire this wondering how they are able to keep it up. However, deep down, the person who is out partying finds that this is the only way in dealing with their emotions. They continue to live like an adolescent because they don't want to face their fears.

Someone who has been neglected or abandoned will go through life unable to connect with their partner. They may feel as if they are unable to trust anyone because the hurt that they have been put through as a child. They may just not know how to connect with anyone because nobody has been intimate with them before. This can create a lot of fear in their lives.

Someone who is emotionally immature will also have trouble with their relationships because they are more child like in their behavior. They may react sensitively. They may be less focused and they will be unable to be as intimate which obviously causes complications in the relationship. This may only come to surface during marriage counseling.

It does take baby steps, but over the time, the person will begin to change in a practical way as they talk about their emotions. This will obviously less frustration in their lives. At the end of the day, one wants to be content, and not to be having an anxiety attack with the most basic decision. When you take those steps, you will begin to feel a lot happier and joyful.
