In this episode we cover:

Why meeting our needs is the gateway to personal agency and being in our own power in our lives.

A discussion of how we first come into contact with our needs.

Explanations of why what happened in our childhood is so important and how this relates to how we tend to ourselves now.

Some suggestions and tips about what to start focusing on if you have no idea about how to tend to your needs.

An anecdote from Cath's life.

There is no need to have shame if you don't know how to meet your needs. Many of us grew up tending to the needs of our parents and as a result are disconnected from what we may need. This can be changed in adult life. There is SO much hope. Referenced the work of Allan Schore and Dan Siegel.
