Unmet Needs: When Others Don't Reciprocate
How do you navigate it when you invest a lot into other, but they are unwilling or unable to fulfill your very valid needs? Many empaths and highly sensitive people find themselves struggling with anger and resentment due to these relationship imbalances, but there is hope.
Join me as we discuss:
Empathetic Struggles: Highly sensitive individuals tend to give freely but often face unmet needs in return, leading to frustration.
Emotional Awareness: Learn to acknowledge feelings like anger, resentment, and envy without judgment, using them to gain clarity in relationships.
Silent Contracts: Discover how unspoken expectations lead to disappointment and how to navigate these dynamics consciously.
50/50 Balance of Life: Understand that life is equally positive and negative-disappointment is inevitable, but accepting this truth can bring peace.
Survival Responses: Learn how disappointment can trigger a fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response.
Healthy Boundaries: Explore strategies to avoid burnout, such as setting time limits before responding to requests and reassessing energy investments.
Review and Summary: It can be disappointing when others are unwilling or unable to meet our needs. Using how others show up as information rather than a manipulative tactic can help to bring peace and clarity AND get your needs met.
Are you ready to break free from people-pleasing, set boundaries, and create balance in your life? Subscribe to the podcast for more guidance and insights, and reach out to join my one on one coaching waitlist before my schedule fills up. Let’s work together to help you reclaim your energy and step into a life of fulfillment and peace.

    Wow, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I recently tried this exercise; obviously, relationships are more complex and it is just to bring awareness. :) "When I am with this person, I feel ______. After our interactions, my energy level is ___ out of 10." Very interesting stuff came from this!!

    I stumbled upon this video but I needed to see it! I am fairly new in my city, and while I have made some friends, I am definitely the one who offers help or organizes a get together. But very little is actually returned to me. My friends are good people, but they are definitely not as tuned in to people’s needs as I am. It is frustrating and can be very hurtful at times.

    I'm that way! I always think. If I don't do it (for others) nobody is going to do it. Everybody says I'm the best host. When I was younger it wouldn't matter, now my health has deteriorated, I'm burned out, sunk in debt and sad that there are no more people who care for others. This world would be better. Thank you for your video. It's true what you said.
