The Uncomfortable Truth of Emotional Immaturity
There is so much conditioning from childhood that makes us cringe at immature behaviour, both our own & in others. It’s embarrassing! Often inducing shame & regret. We start to think there is something wrong with us that needs to be fixed. But I’m here to tell you that this is not the case.
Once we take responsibility for our emotional intelligence, we realise that we have a choice. We feel free when we have a choice. We are aiming to get to a place where we can process our emotions without needing to inflict them on anyone else.
This work becomes simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Strap in, this is a conversation about how to be a grown up!

Reflections
What language do you have for your emotional landscape?
How eloquently can you describe your feelings?
How do you express yourself when you don’t feel good?
How connected are you to what you need in the moment?
Study the Wheel of Emotion. Practice articulating the nuance of how you are feeling. Try out new words to deepen your self-expression.
Contemplate - where does my Child come out?
Locate the Mother - when does she come out to save the Child?
Take time to journal on how processing your emotions works best for you. What are your needs when different emotions arise? If you don’t know at the time but find out later, retrospectively go back & add your revelations.
Share your experiences in the group. Share when you catch yourself slipping into the Child. Share when your Child calls in the Mother & what unfolds. Share when you are able to process your emotions in a new way as the Woman.
Let’s mature together!
