Maturing Out 
Members of the self-help community often refer to getting “sick and tired of being sick and tired” as a motivation for change. For this discussion:

• Explain, with examples, the concept known as “maturing out” of addiction (also known as natural recovery or spontaneous remission). How does this concept support or fail to 
 support the progressive nature of the disease models of addiction? How can we explain “maturing out” given the genetic origins of addictive behavior?

Within the last 2 months, David noted he has experienced more physical pain in his back and neck area. Because he has not been sleeping well, Robert drinks more at night. He stated that when he was younger, he use to drink more frequently but now he only drinks two or three beers per night. Sometimes, he feels like life is hardly worth living. Robert has tried to “snap himself” out of this sour mood, but nothing seems to work. David oldest son stated he is concerned his father may need to go see a doctor, because his father appears to be acting usual. David stated that his sister used to have similar problems. He is resistant to going to see a doctor and believes his mood will eventually improve.

David’s sister Lisa has struggled with depression for over 10 years. She is currently seeing a psychiatrist and a counselor.

You have been counseling a family of Korean origin for the past 5 weeks. Specific family members have been suffering from generalized anxiety disorder, which is connected to family discord and what you see as blurred boundary issues. In your fifth counseling session, the daughter tells you that Americans do not understand their cultural differences and how they affect family rules. Having worked with over a hundred clients struggling with anxiety, you feel she needs to set clear boundaries for her family members. You instruct her to exercise more independence from her family and seek to become self-actualized.

As a competent Christian counselor, you also give her Mark 10:6–9 and Luke 14:26–27 and ask her to study them this week to see how individuals must distance themselves and become self-differentiated.
