25 - The 8 Stages of Development (and feeling stuck)


Listen Later

Today's conversation is based around Erikson's 8 stages of psychosocial development. Specifically, I share my reflections on these stages as I approach 30, with so much diversity around me in terms of 'life stage'.

I speak to the lost years of COVID19 and how this impacted those in their late 20s / early 30s, as well as the insecurity of making decisions differently to those around you.

I explore developmental psychology and the lessons we learn from infancy through childhood and adolescence into adulthood. What happens when miss those lessons? How do we move forward?


Erikson's 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development

  1. Trust vs. Mistrust
  2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
  3. Initiative vs. Guilt
  4. Industry vs. Inferiority
  5. Identity vs. Confusion
  6. Intimacy vs. Isolation
  7. Generativity vs. Stagnation
  8. Integrity vs. Despair
