DEVELOPMENTAL CRISIS IN EARLY ADULTHOOD: A ...

Gender and Femininity
• You said you feel more feminine now than you used to (p.12). Can you explain in
what ways you feel like this?
• Lets do it another way round. In what ways before the crisis were you not able to
express your femininity?
• I am wondering if you can determine when during the crisis was the change in your
sense of femininity.
• You mentioned a growth in your feminine side since before the crisis. Have you
experienced a balancing of your masculine and feminine sides? If so, how has that
manifest?
Materialism
• Are you more or less materialistic since the crisis?
Self-Reflection
• Do you think at that time that you knew who were as a person?
• Do you remember the exact moment where you thought right I’m going?
• What did it feel like being away from your parents?
• How long do you think it took to feel liberated from that sense of being controlled?
• And then with regards to that, you said “I started to opening up to different things.”
What sort of things did you open up to?
• Well did you open up to new aspects of yourself?
• That’s interesting you refer to it as “listening” to this real part of you. What do you
have to listen out for?
Transformation
• Clearly your life changed a lot over the crisis, would you say that your personality has
changed?
• Since the crisis, do you feel more aware of your faults?
• Do you feel more aware of your emotions?
• Do you feel more aware of what you want out of life?
• Do you know yourself better?
• Do you see Vicky before and Vicky after as different people?
•
• p.12 – harmonious aspect – what mean?
• Do you think that change is permanent? Do you think that you may go back to how
you were?
