Hello and welcome back to the Self-Healer Soundboard, how to do the work Master Class.

Last episode, we explored the importance of creating new daily habits to help us better

identify and meet our authentic needs through the daily practice of reparenting.

Many of us continue to struggle coping with our emotional needs and don't know how to

safely regulate our feelings, keeping us emotionally overwhelmed by or disconnected from the world

around us.

This episode, Jenna and I, will dive in to Chapter 12 of How to do the Work, Emotional

Machoarity.

Hello everyone and thank you again for joining us for this week's episode.

Now emotional maturity sounds great, right?

Well what actually is emotional maturity?

Emotional maturity is the ability to regulate one's emotions.

It allows for flexible thinking, open communication and resilience in stressful situations.

Emotional maturity allows us to tolerate all of the emotions that human life comes with

and to cope with them adaptively as opposed to lashing out, screaming, storming around

or shutting down as many of us do.

Emotional maturity includes the ability to authentically express ourselves and to cultivate

peace when we are misunderstood.

It is the ability to create and hold space for others authentic self-expression as well.

Now while emotional maturity can be found in what Nicole just described on the contrast

we have emotional immaturity which as you may have guessed is the opposite of emotional

maturity.
