Why do you blow up, shut down, or freeze — especially when it matters most?

In this video, Dr Tony Weston introduces the Lifelong Capacities Map®, a developmental framework that shows how your struggles are not random flaws, but precise signals pointing to the next inner skill you’re ready to build.

You’ll explore:

• How the 12 foundational capacities act like “countries” on a map of human development

• How each capacity contains 4 core competencies (48 in total), each rated from Level 1 (struggle) to Level 5 (mastery)

• Why hitting emotional overwhelm so often points to 1.1 Self-Regulation Under Stress needing attention

• How repeated relational patterns (conflict, people-pleasing, shutdown) often signal growth edges in Relational Capacity (4.x), especially boundary-setting and repair

• Why some capacities must mature before others (for example, emotional capacity often needs strengthening before relational skills can stick)

You’ll be invited to treat your current struggle as a “passport stamp” — an invitation to visit a specific capacity, grow a specific competency, and move step-by-step towards greater mastery using the Lifelong Capacities Map® and a free downloadable worksheet.
