Effective communication is at the heart of strong relationships.

A critical aspect of effective communication is learning how to express our needs. But in order to learn how to express our needs, first we need to get in touch with them.

Do you know what your needs are?

When needs are unfulfilled in a relationship conflicts may rise. Unmet needs can lead to feelings of resentment, anger, confusion, disappointment, frustration, hopelessness, irritation, sadness, loneliness and embarrassment. Communication gets a lot easier if we fully understand what our needs are.

Asking for what we need is not a selfish act.

It actually enriches our life. But it’s not as easy as it sounds.

What happens when needs are not met?

How to identify your needs?

In today’s episode When Your Needs Are Not Met with Yvette Erasmus, PsyD we take a deep dive into the topic of needs and feelings. Yvette is trained in NVC, Non-Violent Communication. Not knowing what your needs are is a difficult territory for many people and there are many reasons for it. It can be especially hard for women who tend to give, please others, care for others and attend to everyone else’s needs. We also talk why we use ineffective ways of communicating what we need, like demanding, whining, complaining...And how can we learn more skillful ways of expressing our basic needs. So, if we were to put into steps this process I’d say there are two parts: Get clear on your needs Learn to express them effectively for getting them met

What happens when the need is urgent? How does it show up in your life and behaviors?

What happens if you express your need and the person doesn’t meet it? Then what?

Why do we we confuse feelings with thoughts and how can we separate the two?

Why you can't be rigid in wanting a specific need to be met by a specific person in a specific way. And why going to Home Depot for groceries can lead to tremendous disappointment. Asking yourself, “What’s available in this relationship?” can completely shift how you think and expect from relationships and can relief unnecessary suffering.
