“When we start to prioritize our needs, what we’re really doing is we’re rebuilding a better relationship with ourselves. It’s really hard to have a good relationship with yourself if you are endlessly self-abandoning, and if you only have a passing understanding of what your needs are, you are self-abandoning.” – Terri Cole

Intro

Do you know what you need? Not what your kids need, or what your partner needs, or what your team at work needs. What you need.

In my therapy practice, when I ask high-functioning women what they need for the coming week, many of them either freeze or hand me a list of responsibilities. Things they have to get done. These things are not the same thing.

Highlights:

• 3:50 How role models and expectations keep us meeting others’ needs but not our own
• 8:00 Why high-functioning codependents feel like they need to override their needs.
• 9:50 Building your needs list
• 15:00 What intentionally cultivating autonomy requires of us
• 17:40 Creating safety and rest for yourself
