Creativity in getting your needs met

When we want something to happen or change in our relationships we can sometimes get stuck on the "how" rather than the "why" , in this episode we will look into the why we want something and we start to get creative around how we can get those needs met

Today's episode is number 6 in our series on "Introducing and Exploring Compassionate Communication". I have chosen to go solo and get vulnerable with you as I start to share my understanding of how being in touch with my needs can really bring me closer to how I want to live in the world and be in relationship with myself and others. Through knowing my needs I can also invite myself to get creative around how I can get those needs met without getting stuck on one particular strategy.

We will explore the differences between our needs and the strategies we use to meet them by presenting some concepts and my own understanding of idea’s which have inspired me whilst assisting NVC trainer Oriane Boyer on her online beginners course.

I will then finish off with an action step for you to try at home, I suggest downloading the feelings and needs list bellow so that you can do this activity with ease and anchor your learning.
