This episode is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners. Today’s question is: Why is it such a bad thing for your partner to need you and not just choose you?

We’re discussing:

1. Turning the question on yourself - why do you want to be needed?

2. The idea that the feeling of being needed, in any chosen relationship, gives us a sense of purpose and/or false sense of identity 

3. How to reclaim your ability to be okay with the unknown and the possibility that somebody could leave you, in a romantic or platonic relationship, and still feel fulfilled within yourself

If you have a question or topic you’d like us to address, we would love to hear from you for our new Q+A series! Email us at [email protected]
