The Cost of Early Maturity

Описание: Did you grow up hearing that you were "so mature for your age"? While it might have sounded like a compliment at the time, for many, it was a survival strategy.

In this video, we explore the concept of Parentification—when a child is forced to take on adult responsibilities, often at the expense of their own childhood. If you struggle with delegating tasks, find it impossible to truly relax, or constantly scan your environment for threats, you might be carrying the weight of early maturity.

We’ll break down exactly how this shapes your adult life, from hyper-independence to intimacy struggles, and most importantly, how you can start to heal.
