In this episode, Elizabeth encourages attunement towards noticing and paying attention to what you need. Elizabeth also encourages for those listeners in close relationships to work towards both communicating what you need, but also asking that of your partner. By asking "what do you need?," you give your spouse both the gift of validation of their needs and care for their well-being. Naming needs involves stopping and pausing enough to notice and ask the question and can lead to deeper understanding between people as well as to more nurtured people all around.
