The Definition Of Emotional Growth In Adults

By Paul Smith


Physically, you may feel your age, but emotionally you may still feel like a child. Emotional growth in adults can be stunted because of various reasons. A mature person is able to make decisions, come up with good ideas, they are able to make good conversation and they feel stable with other adults. They are comfortable in their relationships around them.

There are many reasons why someone is less mature than another person. Sometimes it is due to the fact that they have been abused emotionally or physically. They could have been abandoned or neglected. Basically, when someone did not have a lot of adult guidance as a child, they would be lacking something. This gives you something more in your adult life.

When you are emotionally immature, you can be fearful, resentful, shameful or guilty. There will be some confusion in your life, and you may be suffering with depression and anxiety. It is natural to have these psychological disorders creep in as well because this is simply the result of the trauma. It is a coping mechanism. A lot of people just block out the trauma.

A good therapist will teach you how to take actions. They will teach you more about making decisions. They will prevent you from becoming overwhelmed in various situations. It can take a lot of time to deal with these feelings. One has to look at the trauma and how you were feeling at the time. This can relate to how you are feeling at the present time.

You may not have changed since the time your parents began shouting at you. You may have stayed in that place, because it is extremely traumatic. Because of this you will constantly be having negative feelings. You feel that you are not worthy because the person you trusted most told you so. Your attitude is bad and you think you are a failure.

This can carry on your entire life until you look for help. If you don't it can continue to bring you down. You will look for an escape, you will stop socializing and you will suffer from depression and anxiety. A good quality of life can't result from this. People who have the courage to seek help and solve their problems are those who will reap the rewards.

It is something that you have to work on. It is a process. People need to get out of their comfort zone. In order to do this you have to talk about the scars and the hurts which have been bothering you all of your life. When you do this you will start to become more mature in your thinking and the way you come across.

Patients often think that they have been victimized. Of course, they have, but when they tell their stories and they continue with this, people will become bored. They can't continue to be a victim their entire life. People admire those who are brave with courage. A therapist will offer encouragement and motivation. However, at the end of the day, it is up to the individual.
