Psychological maturity
Psychological maturity is the result of the natural and healthy process that individuals go through when their needs are met at various developmental levels over the life span. A person who passes successfully through a maturity stage will have grown in terms of the way they perceive themselves, relate to others, and understand/interact with the world around them. Many of my clients are shocked when they hear the average American is stuck at the psychological maturity level of an infant or child…and then, their hope is renewed when I tell them it doesn’t have to stay that way. Maturity growth is essential to a successful and thriving human experience. Lack of maturity growth has detrimental consequences on every area of life. This blog series will focus on what maturity is, what success/lack of success looks like in terms of maturity growth, and how to fill gaps in maturity development when needs weren’t met or when traumas occurred at various stages.
