In the next few months, this blog will be addressing NEEDS and helping you to:
o identify your own needs
o determine which needs are being met in your life and which are not
o create a plan of how you can fulfill the unmet needs
o ask for help from others in meeting your needs
o increase your understanding of how to balance your needs with the needs of others
Depending on the type of family system you were/are a part of, how one deals with needs varies. If there is dysfunction within the system, then needs can become difficult to identify, accept, and fulfill.
The ‘golden rule’ for everyone within the system-
each adult person is responsible for getting their own needs met.
This is not to say that we don’t , at times, require the help of others, however, getting that help is our responsibility. We need to be able to ask for help in an effective and appropriate way.
Think about some of your own needs in these areas: physical, emotional, intellectual.
Next week, we will be exploring these different areas in more detail.
