In this episode Ken provides a framework of the components of emotional maturity, starting by elucidating what we mean by "self" to help the group and listeners better understand the concept of self-differentiation. As we grow in our emotional maturity, the self we "own" will become more and more differentiated while also staying connected to other "selves." Ken emphasizes that taking responsibility for self is the foundation of emotional maturity and makes the case (with regard to the call in the gospels to deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Jesus) that "we can't deny our self until we own our self and love our self." Listen as Ken unpacks all of this and more.
