The Empowered Divorce Podcast; Navigating Divorce After Betrayal Trauma and Abuse

88. How To Assess Emotional Maturity- In YOURSELF! Part 2


Listen Later

Surviving emotionally immature relationships require you to show up, or not show up, in certain ways to preserve the relationship and the attachment. Part of healing and especially if you are considering getting into another relationship, means you need to be able to take a look at how YOU showed up in your previous relationship. This is a shift from looking at how your partner may have showed up right?!

You certainly did not CHOOSE your trauma or abuse, and, if you stayed in it- you want to see why WITHOUT SELF -JUDGEMENT, GUILT OR SHAME, so that you don't repeat it! I know ya'll don't want that!

So hang with me today as I walk through a few things that you can consider and self reflect on this week.

Here are the main talking points from the podcast episode about emotional maturity, particularly focusing on self-awareness and coping strategies developed from past relationships:

  • Emotional Maturity Education: The host emphasizes that emotional maturity is a relatively new area of focus and not widely discussed, even though it's crucial for people who have experienced destructive relationships.

  • Patterns of Emotional Immaturity: The podcast highlights that behaviors perceived as emotionally immature are often adaptive responses developed to survive in challenging environments, not personal flaws.

  • People Pleasing: Discussed as a common trait among those who grew up in emotionally immature environments, often used as a strategy to feel safe and avoid rejection. The host plans to dedicate a full episode to this topic.

  • Boundaries: The difficulty in setting, holding, and communicating boundaries is tied to childhood environments where boundaries were neither respected nor modeled.

  • Avoidance of Conflict: Many listeners might relate to avoiding conflict as a survival strategy in abusive relationships or with difficult personalities like narcissists.

  • Dependency on External Validation: This is connected to the lack of emotional support in early years, leading to a reliance on others for validation.

  • Black and White Thinking: Described as a survival mechanism in unpredictable or chaotic environments, leading to overly simplistic thinking about people and situations.
