Are you emotionally immature? These are the 5 signs you may need a therapist

TikTok viewers aren’t staying silent about this.

A therapist has sparked debate on social media after saying there are five signs someone is emotionally immature — and employing “the silent treatment” is one of them.

Licensed therapist Jeffrey Meltzer, who hails from Sarasota, Florida, shared his list in a TikTok video posted late last month, which garnered over 9.5 million views and plenty of controversy.

The mental health professional’s proclamations peeved viewers who insisted that the silent treatment was often necessary to get a point across.

“Silent treatment is better than wasting your energy on someone who won’t listen to you,” one replied to Meltzer.

“I use the silent treatment because the alternative is worse,” another claimed.
