The Road from Needless to Needy

from Unprocessed · host Lia Avellino

In this episode I trace the path of the needless person in relationships--she comes across as if she's down with anything, gets angry along the way, and then buries her needs through partner critique, and creates the scenario of her biggest fear realized: she will be a burden. In reality, it's not her needs that are a burden to the other, it's that they are a burden to herself. Listen in as I share how I rooted myself in my needs, a visualization of a firmly planted oak tree with flexible branches, and how me owning my needs inspired my partner to own his.
