Identifying Needs and Communicating Them with Clarity
So, what do you REALLY want?
This can be a confusing and anxiety provoking question.
There are a lot of reasons for that. We may have grown up in an environment where needs were chronically left unmet. Adults in our early lives may have been poor at modeling these skills. Additionally, our current roles as caregivers of others may have shifted our sense of self, and we begin to think about our desires as being unimportant. When needs rise to the surface, we can habitually push them down due to feelings of guilt or shame. Pretty soon, we lose touch with ourselves and the ability to discern what we REALLY want gets very cloudy.
Developing a relationship with your body’s wisdom can be a first step in establishing a connection with your intuition.
When we are unclear in our own systems about our wants and desires it creates muddled and tricky communication with others. It’s common to revert to passive-aggressive communication while resentments build internally and impact our relationships with others.
In this workshop we will explore
Three weeks after the workshop Dee will host an Identifying Needs Lab so that we can share and take live examples from student experiences to further our understanding and deepen our integration.
