How To Stop Being Needy in Relationships [Ep 40]
Being called “needy” in a relationship can feel shaming but what if being needy isn’t the problem?
In this episode, I unpack why we end up feeling anxious, clingy, or desperate for reassurance in relationships. We’ll explore how childhood experiences and attachment patterns shape our needs and why trying to suppress them only backfires.
You’ll learn:
- Why needing connection is human — and when it gets labeled as “too much”
- The hidden cost of ignoring your needs or shutting down
- Practical steps to feel secure in yourself while communicating clearly with your partner
If you’ve ever felt “too much” or worried that asking for what you need will push someone away, this episode is for you.
It’s about shifting from shame to curiosity, and learning how to meet your needs in a healthy, confident way.
