Other people will be set back in life because they have been through a traumatic experience. At the end of the day, it is important to take baby steps because this is how you are able to grow and cope in various situations.

A lot of people become stuck because they are still caught up in this web. They have not grown up in a happy, healthy environment. They were exposed to a lot of abuse. The result of this being, that they are anxious, fearful and on the edge. They are often not able to cope in an intimate relationship. An adult like this may seem as if they are still in the adolescent stage.

It often means that you have to move in baby steps, especially when you have been through a traumatic experience in your life.

When looking at a person who is emotionally immature, you may see them to be the party animal. They will be out every night and this will be the cycle. Some people will admire this wondering how they are able to keep it up. However, deep down, the person who is out partying finds that this is the only way in dealing with their emotions. They continue to live like an adolescent because they don't want to face their fears.

Someone who has been abused as a child, for example often has not talked about this. They would be feeling a lot of guilt and shame for many years. They may be feeling stuck at some point in their lives, and people close to them may notice that they get into a habit of becoming depressed, moody, angry or abusive. Drinking is often the cause of someone who is emotionally immature.

Someone who is emotionally immature will also have trouble with their relationships because they are more child like in their behavior. They may react sensitively. They may be less focused and they will be unable to be as intimate which obviously causes complications in the relationship. This may only come to surface during marriage counseling.

Talking about these problems is often the only solution. However, it is important that one goes to a specialized type of group or a counselor where the patient can get the right type of attention. Connecting with the rest of the group members or the psychologist is very important. Over time they will start to feel various changes start to occur in their life, and this is obviously rewarding.
