Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuide

Sometimes we might pretend to ourselves that everything is OK as a short term coping mechanism. There's nothing wrong with that if it is just that, a 'short-term' strategy. But the more we do this, the more we compromise our needs...so today we offer an alternative approach in moments like this.

In this episode we cover:

  • What happens to our needs if we are pretending that everything is OK when it's not
  • How the ignoring and avoiding of needs affects you
  • What negative self talk often is, and how to address it
  • How your inner critic can be an ally if you know how to work with them - and how it works against you if you don't!
  • What criticism does and does NOT do for you
  • An approach for working with your inner critic that works really well to reduce the harm they are doing to us
  • How your our little needs gremlin gets louder and more intense if you don't listen to them
  • How we often compromise some of our needs to try to get other needs met
  • The privilege can sometimes come into this when different needs are talking to us and how we can respond them
  • That we can sometimes compromise the VERY need we are trying to meet by how we are trying to meet them
  • A common example that shows up with MANY people
  • Why it is so important to listen to the signals when we get them the first time
  • How being proactive with our needs can sometimes help prevent these situations from happening
  • How to navigate being woken in the night in a way that will minimize the impact to your needs
