In this episode, Bonnie and Mallika launch in with 5 specific dependency needs, how they feel in our being, and why they are important in our relationships!
Some of us didn't have certain needs met when we were young. All of us, in some way, experience in us (or in other) "the dependent self."
Sometimes we get into a place where "trauma meets trauma", and more than knowing all the pieces of what's happening, it's more about recognizing the feeling of trauma and pausing when we are activated.
When we can go into, know about and lead others towards our dependency needs we have a greater chance of having them met, while still holding that it is not actually the responsibility of others to meet  them just the way we want.
