Psychological maiming is when we stop a part of our nature from acting or flowing.
For example to take a vowel of silence or abstinence is to psychologically maim ourselves. In those cases we psychologically maim our tongue and sexual centre.
We know of course that our word and sexual energy can be used to do ourselves a lot of harm in the spiritual field. Our word especially can harm others in all other fields of life as well. However the word and the sexual energy can do marvels for us in the spiritual field. So it is not right to cut those functions out of our life and away from ourselves. That is why it is something from the abyss. Because it is illogical - why cut off a part of our nature that is God given and is useful to go back to God and to help others to go back to God. It is the absurd really.
The above are just two examples, but we do that in much smaller and diverse ways with our own nature, with our strengths, with our abilities, with our virtues, with our consciousness etc. etc.
Often fear is behind so much of our psychological maiming that we do.
Hope this answers your question?
