An emotionally immature person is unable to effectively manage their problems, which begin to accumulate over time. These problems become chronic and gradually integrate into the body and nervous system, making the person powerless in resolving new issues.

When new problems arise from the environment, such a person cannot perceive them accurately or in full scope due to this powerlessness. Because of the diminished role of the right hemisphere—which is responsible for seeing the bigger picture and recognizing and being aware of the actual state within ourselves and our relationships—the emotionally immature person becomes stuck in sensory amnesia and gradually develops an increasing resistance and fear of the truth. And it is precisely the fear of truth that causes the most harm to an emotionally immature person.

Truth is painful. To face it and begin changing our behavior toward ourselves and others, we must raise our emotional maturity while also reducing sensory-motor amnesia.

Both of these are taught in the online program for increasing emotional maturity.

The processes described above are common today, as modern social characteristics tend to encourage and amplify emotional immaturity. This makes it easier and quicker to overlook or become accustomed to growing alienation. The consequence is the extinction of deeper emotional relationships.

Here are some characteristics of people whose emotional maturity is not sufficiently developed to effectively address problems in their own lives and in the lives of those dependent on them (children, partners, truly helpless people and beings), which I address in the program for increasing emotional maturity:

• Rigidity, obstinacy, stubbornness, narrow-mindedness.
• Lack of awareness that the irrational and subjective are influencing the rational and objective.
• Playing out a chronic role under the illusion of authenticity and spontaneity.
• Equating knowledge of emotions and relationships with their proper use, despite long-term results showing otherwise.
• Refusing to acknowledge that, for an adult, operating under the pleasure principle must result from appropriate application of the reality principle.
• Not accepting difference and focusing only on oneself. If the environment does not accept this, it results in disappointment and hurt feelings.
• Shallow self-reflection that exists solely for its own sake.
• A very high likelihood of emotional incest and inverse emotional incest.
