Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Jennie defines emotional maturity not as feeling less but as responding more wisely. How does that definition align with or challenge what you thought emotional maturity looked like before reading this book?
2.She argues that emotional health and spiritual depth are not in tension — they are deeply intertwined. In your experience, have you seen emotionally immature people who appeared spiritually mature? What was missing?
3.The chapter connects emotional availability — the willingness to be present and honest about your inner life — to the quality of your relationships. How has your own emotional unavailability (through stuffing, deflecting, or performing) cost you in a significant relationship?
