A personal monologue by a speaker named Rod describing a therapy experience from 28 years ago in which his therapist labeled him ‘very immature’ regarding his sexuality. Rod reflects on the tension between feeling spiritually mature yet emotionally/sexually immature, and on lack of competent guidance from confidants (family) to help him grow in that area.
And it was 28 years ago. Nick that's the very language my therapist used to me. Rod, Basically, you're very immature in this part of your life. I'm going to help you mature. That was his language, and it was kind of offensive to me because I thought I was deeply spiritual and immature sounded unspiritual. And it was true. I had part of my life that was deeply flawed and deeply immature because I never had anybody walk with me to know how to grow in this area. And it didn't feel safe. And the people that I did confess with were good people, my brother, my dad, good hearted people, but they just didn't have a. They weren't competent in knowing how to help me mature in this other. In this other way of my sexuality.
