Getting Emotional Needs Met

Identifying your needs is the foundation, but knowing the behaviors that meet the need and expressing them to the people in your life can feel like walking through a minefield. Once our needs are identified we can work to understand both how those needs are met and how to clearly articulate this to others. Many of us avoid speaking up because we're afraid of starting a fight, being seen as “too much,” or being rejected. But silence only breeds resentment. You deserve a life where you can speak your truth and be met with understanding.

In this session we bridge the gap between “identifying” and “describing.” I provide the psychological tools to help you communicate your deepest needs in a way that invites connection and reduces defensiveness. A key “ah ha” moment for many is the realization we all have our needs met in different ways. Understanding that needs, and how they are met, are unique to each and every one of us allows space for empathy and curiosity to play a role in advocating for ourselves and showing up for others.
