How To Approach Emotional Growth In Adults

By Christopher Jackson


There are certain stages in life that everyone goes through. One moves from a child to a teenager. They will grow up and mature into an adult and over time, they will become elderly. There are physical signs to say that one has reached these stages. However, there is also emotional growth in adults which makes it difficult to determine how old a person is.

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.

There are professional people to help with this type of growth. Everyone is different, and they will need various coping strategies which work best for them. Someone may be suffering from a particular personality problem and they need to look at how they can cope with certain decisions that they have to make. Someone like this will need more support.

It can take a long time for someone to get to the point where they feel that they are fully focused and balanced. It may mean that they have to talk to a professional person. It often means that you have to move in baby steps, especially when you have been through a traumatic experience in your life.

It is necessary to talk to someone when life is too overwhelming. This can be the result of someone who turns to something else to numb the pain. They may spend their nights out partying. This can be fine when you are still a student. However, when you are acting like this as a middle aged person, you need to look at what is really happening in your life.

Sometimes a person will blame themselves for something that wasn't their fault. They will become aggressive and throw tantrums, which are not called for. Some people become depressed and withdrawn. There is always a deeper meaning and an underlying issue for these problems and one needs to look at what is bothering the person.

It is not easy for someone who is emotionally immature to face up to their responsibilities. This is why they need guidance. It can complicate their life daily because there are obviously decisions that you have to make every day of your life. Even having a discussion on what to cook can lead into an abusive argument for someone who is challenged like this.

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.
