Ep 26: When Our Needs Feel Illegitimate


The way we come into relationships with our needs when we are babies and young children, has a huge influence on the way we learn to tend to our needs as adults.

We learn about what is 'allowed' in terms of our needs in our family of origin. Many of us have a very complex relationship with our own needs, because of the parenting we received (and the parenting our parents received). In this episode Cath digs more into needs (Listen to Episodes 1-4 of Grow Yourself Up for more on needs), looking at why our needs may feel 'illegitimate' and how we can bring these needs back to ourselves.

She shares some imagery that could be helpful with this and also some ideas about how to proceed when you don't know where to start with your needs.
