The Need to feel Needed

Why do some of us feel responsible for everyone around us?In this episode of Open Flame, I talk about something my therapist helped me recognise: my need to feel needed. I realised that I often gave more than I had, hoping that being indispensable would make people stay. But that way of loving came with anxiety, disappointment, and expectations that no one had agreed to.This is a conversation about friendships, relationships, letting go of control, and learning that you don't have to earn your place in someone's life.
