- What are your own relational needs?
- Where does God fit in to your relational needs?
- Who is meeting your needs and do you feel safe enough to honestly process life with them?
- Whose relational needs are you meeting?
After some self-reflection, consider your mentee...- Where are they getting their needs met? Is it healthy or unhealthy?
