Episode #8 "What Do I Really Need?": Uncovering and Defining our Basic Soul Needs

Soul Healing Love

Sometimes we can't tell someone how to help us or even figure out how to help ourselves when we don't even know What We Really Need. The Digging Deeper exercise (more info in Episode 6) in Soul Healing Love ends with the question, "What do you Really Need?" so that you can work from Reacting to a situation and move into healing the deeper, basic need that is impacted. But if you don't know what you need, that's difficult to ask. Drs. Tom and Bev developed a list of Basic Needs--things like Love, Acceptance, Affirmation, Validation--and gave a practical definition to help you uncover the true needs of your soul. In learning your deepest needs, you can then begin to chart a path to healing as you meet those for yourself and ask others to meet them as well.
