🫂 Josh and Hannah held caring space for Mike to work through fears of vulnerability
😥 They discuss how there are “parts” of us try to keep us safe, but can block access to our souls’ needs and the importance of seeing the “parts” inside us with compassion, instead of fighting them, allows integration
💌 Everyone has a Bruno/ego that resists growth – thank it, listen to it, let it take the back seat

Exploring Human Needs and Emotions: A Deep Dive into the Crayon Box
/

In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore the fundamental needs that drive our behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Drawing inspiration from Marshall Rosenberg’s NVC philosophy, we uncover how each individual is driven by a unique set of needs that shape their perspectives and actions.  We talk about how coping mechanisms and defense mechanisms are an attempt to meet a need, and how those become “just who we are”.

Discover the intricate connection between emotions and unmet needs as we unravel the layers of human experience. We’ll dive into how our emotions serve as powerful indicators of underlying needs that are seeking fulfillment.

Through real-life examples and relatable anecdotes, we’ll illustrate how practicing NVC can lead to improved communication, deeper self-awareness, and more authentic connections with others. We’ll also share practical tips on how to identify your own needs and decode the messages your emotions are sending.

At the end of the episode, Hannah leads us through a short, beautiful moment of breathwork!
