Understanding Emotional Needs

Have you ever felt a lingering sense of emptiness or frustration in your life, even when everything on the surface seems “fine”? Often, that feeling of being stuck isn't a sign of a failing relationship or a lack of gratitude—it's a sign that your core emotional needs are going unrecognized. If you can't name what you're missing, you can't advocate for yourself.

In this session you'll pull back the curtain on your internal world. This is about moving from a vague sense of dissatisfaction to a concrete understanding of what you actually need to feel fulfilled.

Dr. Sherron recommends starting here, as this is a foundational component of healthy relationships.
