Your Relationship Needs Are Not Selfish

In this video, I’m going to help you get clear in your mind exactly what reasonable needs are, how to communicate them to your partner, and what to do if they continue to go unmet. BOOK A SESSION ▶▶▶ https://laurahow.com/online-counselling/ Needing closeness with your partner and wanting them to meet reasonable emotional needs for you is not weakness or co-dependency, it’s attachment and it’s our shared nature. When our needs are consistently met by our partners, we feel secure, and our bonds grow stronger. Our nervous systems regulate, we're less stressed, and we experience better physical health and all-round wellbeing. On the other hand, when our needs are not met, our sense of security is damaged, we feel isolated, disconnected and anxious and our health will deteriorate if this is goes on. In case you're not quite sure what needs are reasonable, then here's a list of examples: Trust Commitment Affection Appreciation Empathy Friendship Satisfying Sex Compromise Respect Quality Time Kindness Generosity If any of those things are missing from your relationship then you have a right to ask for them. ▼FOLLOW ME▼ Instagram →   / laurahow   Facebook →   / laurahowcounsellor   Twitter →   / laurahow   ▶BOOK AN ONLINE SESSION◀ Website: https://laurahow.com/booking/ ▶BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS◀ Website: https://laurahow.com/book-recommendat... ▼ ⌚️Timestamps ▼ ──────────── 0:00 Intro 0:30 Reciprocity 1:14 Adult Attachment 3:26 Identify Your Needs 4:41 Communicate With Your Partner 6:11 Take Care of Yourself 8:14 Work Out Who You’re Dealing With 9:45 Set an Ultimatum 11:27 You Are Worth Fighting For 14:11 Outro ──────────── #marriage #relationships #emotionalneeds
