Needs in relationship? Part 1

Here’s how you can begin to communicate your needs specifically if you experience anxious attachment.

Firstly, it’s not the responsibility of our partner or the person we’re dating to heal our attachment style- that’s our work to do in therapy.

But secondly, by reflecting on what’s happening for you and why you can begin to communicate to your partner more clearly on what your needs are.

You might need to ask for clarity from your partner from time to time if you’re unsure but if you’re constantly craving assurance and validation it may be a signal that something from your past needs attention.

Our attachment wounds or developmental wounds are those formed throughout our early lives in relationship to the significant people in our lives- our parents, siblings, friends and first romantic partners.

If there are old wounds from these relationships, they often play out in our adult relationships. It’s important to attend to these wounds so that we can build our awareness of our autopilot reactions and form new healthier patterns of relating to the important people in our lives.

I’m Simone Da Costa, an Integrative, somatic psychotherapist and this is the work I do with my clients in 1:1 online therapy.

What is the “healing process” anyways?

It can take many forms but one part of it that I help my clients with is understanding their old coping strategies that are no longer serving them in their adult lives-
The people pleasing
Shrinking yourself
Self-abandonment
Social anxiety
Procrastination
Avoidance
…and the list goes on-

And how to replace them with healthier strategies that truly serve their relationships, career and overall wellbeing.

The biggest thing to know about this kind of healing process is that when we start to undo our old coping strategies it gets uncomfortable.

The time in between dropping the old pattern and installing a new healthier pattern can feel very vulnerable. You learned the way to stay safe all those years ago, parts of you might doubt that letting go of those strategies is really the right thing to do.

But then you remember what those old patterns are costing you these days; your voice, your authenticity, your self worth, your confidence, your ability to take up space unapologetically and go after what you truly want.

So yes, the journey can get uncomfortable but the only way out is through it.
That’s why I’m there with my clients every step of the way, holding the vision of the horizon where it feels better again.

I’ll see you on the other side of this as your more authentic, radiant self ✨

Just remember that even when it gets uncomfortable- once you have the right support- keep going, it will be worth it.

Try it out, let me know how it goes.

The technique above is for anyone and can be used with partners, friends or family, however I've also been thinking about the service professionals —the nail techs, fitness instructors, hairdressers, and more—who often feel like their unofficial second role is therapist, as clients naturally open up, share and offload during appointments.

I'm thinking about hosting an online webinar for these service professionals where I'd share tips and strategies on what to do when a client is sharing something heavy, or maybe gets emotional, as well as how to conserve your own energy if it sometimes feels depleting.
We'll also have a live Q&A segment where you can get your specific questions answered. If you'd be interested in this comment below or send me a message :)
