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
