For people who have worked so hard to reclaim ther identity and built up "gates," the idea of actually requiring something from another person feels like a threat to ones hard-won safety. In this episode, we deconstruct the "Needy vs. Needed" myth. We discuss why high-achieving people often attract partners who provide nothing because they refuse to ask for anything. Learn how to redefine your needs as "operational requirements" and why expressing them is the ultimate vetting tool for a healthy relationship.
