Ep 49: The Need for Approval

In this episode we're talking about the need to be liked. Over the years of self exploration it's become clear how very much our own desires for approval can drive our choices and cloud out our clarity. Of course, it's pretty human to want to be accepted by others, but what happens when you do it at you're own expense? When the desire to be likable takes on a full fledge good girl/boy identity? Or when it keeps your past trauma re-circulating in a never ending loop of self-sacrifice or self-flagellation? These questions are just the surface of this conversation. As approval junkies in rehab we've got lots to share on the ever fascinating topic of needing to be liked.
