Are my needs my weakness or are they my strength? Or are they both? Or neither?
Our needs are underpinned by thoughts, ideas, beliefs.
Do I need oxygen?
Yes, if I want to live.
‘If’ is the operative word.
‘If’ reflects a choice we’re making or a condition we’re setting consciously or unconsciously.
Do I need you to behave a certain way?
Yes, if I believe that my happiness/sense of control depends on it.
So, are our needs our weakness? Our strength? Neither? Or both?
Interested in Mentoring?
EACH MONTH, I work with a small number of people (about 6) in a mentoring capacity. It is highly personalized and uses a body-centred phenomenological (lived experience rather than theoretical) approach and draws on mindfulness and reflective practices. If this sounds interesting to you, you can find out more here.
