THINKING AS AN ADULT A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY

It seems that we have been educated and prepared, on one hand, to develop certain qualities and skills that allow us to face different challenges that life itself gives us and, on the other hand, educated to keep thinking and reacting as children. Our work as Neuro-Semantics trainers is largely focused on facilitating our participants to know and integrate distinctions that allow them to assume full responsibility for their powers and all kinds of decisions, both internal and external. And to be able to achieve this in our students, we (ourselves) must be models, this means, we would have to be the first ones to apply what we teach.

Now this as a concept sounds easy to understand. However, in small examples we can verify if we are thinking and acting as adults or if we continue thinking and acting childishly to the challenges that we find in our daily life, especially in our interpersonal relationships. One of the most precise parameters that we can use to measure the degree of psychological maturity (adulthood) or immaturity (infantilism) of a particular person, including ourselves, are the cognitive distortions offered by developmental psychology.
