Emotional maturity is crucial for navigating life’s challenges with resilience. It’s not just about growing older; it’s about growing wiser in how we manage our emotions and relationships.
Today on the show, Sean Kelly and Mariam Seral talk with Dr Julie Gowthorpe, RSW in Studio 97 about immature relationships and how to decide if change is possible.
Most people have the ability to become emotionally mature. Developing emotional maturity is a process that involves self-reflection, learning new coping skills, and sometimes even unlearning unhealthy patterns picked up in childhood, like not speaking to your friend when you are upset with them.
Maturity develops when we start to understand our own emotional triggers and responses. If you are an adult who still struggles with this, for a variety of reasons, such as trauma, it needs to be addressed if you want to step into your adult, mature self.
