Shownotes

Do you have all your needs met or do you feel empty inside, barely functioning always on the hunt for someone good to come along to cling onto?

If you are single or in a relationships it is so incredibly important to find out what your needs are and to weed through them

which needs are supposed to be taken seriously ?

which needs are residue from past pain that you are still clinging on to ?

are you fulfilling all your physical needs including sex ? or are you ssuccesfully running away from your basic needs as a human cause you have shame attached to them ?


Do you need strong distractions maybe even drugs or sex to fill a void but still feel unsatisfied afterwards ?


Also learn how much pressure and abuse we add to another person's life when we are not aware of the things we need in life in order to feel sane and good.






Let’s dive in and find out more about this juicy topic that will most likely affect you in one way or another. 




In this episode and many other episodes I touch on topics that I usually work on with my clients. Here in my podcast it will be targeted to a broad spectrum of people. If you'd like to go more into depth with a topic I address, reach out to me.


with love and much respect

Transcripts

Unknown:

No

Unknown:

and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm your host

Unknown:

Aurora, life coach and companion on this beautiful journey called

Unknown:

life. I hope you're doing well I hope you feel safe. I hope you

Unknown:

enjoy yourself, I hope you feel good and your skin, I hope you

Unknown:

have good support around you. And that life just is flowing

Unknown:

easily. lightness is what I wish for you. If you don't feel

Unknown:

yourself if you feel stuck, if you don't feel good, I sure hope

Unknown:

that I can bring you love and inspiration, motivation. Most

Unknown:

importantly, understanding, I hope that the people I talk to

Unknown:

feel understood by me, that's my utmost core values. So to say, I

Unknown:

really love to know that people feel seen and heard. So if

Unknown:

there's anything you would like to request for future episodes,

Unknown:

if you are on the fence of asking for a coach session, or

Unknown:

wanting to stay in a loop of vicious circles. I can convince

Unknown:

you, it is up to you. It has nothing to do with readiness,

Unknown:

your ego will never be ready for coaching because your ego wants

Unknown:

you to stay in the old patterns. It is your heart that has to

Unknown:

long for a change. And with this desire, you messaged me and then

Unknown:

we set up a sync call sync up call where you tell me how I

Unknown:

could help you, I tell you how I could help you and we find out

Unknown:

how long and which kind of path we're going to walk together. So

Unknown:

all this to say, let's dive into today's episode, I have two

Unknown:

snoring dogs next to me, and it's very hot out there. And

Unknown:

they feel very comfortable in the cool house. And I do too.

Unknown:

I'm happy I can make some time for this episode and spend some

Unknown:

time with you and also for myself to rest and recharge my

Unknown:

batteries and reflect a little bit. Recently, I think a lot

Unknown:

about needs having your needs met. And this is why I want to

Unknown:

talk about it today. In the last couple of episodes, I talked

Unknown:

about your worth how your worth can't be touched by anything.

Unknown:

And before that I talked about how to get a grip on your

Unknown:

nervousness, anxiety how to feel more yourself again. So I would

Unknown:

highly recommend that you go back to these episodes if you

Unknown:

haven't listened to them yet. This podcast is kind of a build

Unknown:

up. So you start with season one and work your way through season

Unknown:

23456. Now seven, and you will feel gradual growth, gradual

Unknown:

insights and you will hopefully that's my mission and my vision.

Unknown:

Get to know yourself on a way deeper level than you knew

Unknown:

yourself before you started my podcast. So having all your

Unknown:

needs met. How can I say that? I'm pretty certain that you can

Unknown:

have all your needs met. You might think Ah wow, I got weird

Unknown:

needs. I got so many needs or I got a few needs but they're very

Unknown:

special and nobody's out there to fulfill these needs.

Unknown:

What I learned along my journey is first of all you have to have

Unknown:

your own back.

Unknown:

You got to be a detective and find out if your needs that you

Unknown:

have come from Place of genuine authenticity. Yeah, if you

Unknown:

fulfill that need, it is truly to be yourself become more

Unknown:

yourself or nurturing your soul and your heart. Don't worry, I'm

Unknown:

not going to keep talking. So spiritually, I'm going to go

Unknown:

right to the meat. But for now, let's put it that way. Or if

Unknown:

your needs are slight addiction are a coping mechanism, residues

Unknown:

from trauma, maybe from a breakup, maybe from a loss,

Unknown:

maybe from something that has happened in your teens during

Unknown:

your childhood. And you feel that this need, like, the more

Unknown:

you cling to a need, the more chances there are that this need

Unknown:

is not healthy, that something needs to be healed. In order for

Unknown:

you to let go of this need, like people really develop not only

Unknown:

like physical ailments, but also tics and habits that they cling

Unknown:

on to after a traumatic event. And I want to make very clear

Unknown:

that a traumatic event doesn't always mean that you're involved

Unknown:

in a car crash and all your siblings, your whole family

Unknown:

dies, a traumatic event could have been back then when your

Unknown:

mommy dropped you off as a four year old in kindergarten. And

Unknown:

all of a sudden, you were in a new environment with strangers

Unknown:

left alone. And no matter how your nervous system reacts, you

Unknown:

might readily register it sorry, as a traumatic event or as

Unknown:

something exciting. People are very different children are very

Unknown:

different. Our nervous system is very unique to ourselves. So

Unknown:

trauma is also very unique. My trauma might have never touched

Unknown:

you in any way. And your trauma and your coping mechanisms can

Unknown:

be totally Yeah, hard for me to understand how you can suffer

Unknown:

from something that is not really important to me. Yet, we

Unknown:

have to have that empathy, to understand that people are wired

Unknown:

very differently, even our siblings. So going back to your

Unknown:

needs, is your need genuine, authentic to your blueprint, or

Unknown:

is it a coping mechanism? Right, I hear sometimes from my clients

Unknown:

when they enter the sessions as a couple. The one person is

Unknown:

saying, Well, yeah, well, I would like to have sex 10 times

Unknown:

a week. But my partner is not into it, we only have six, two

Unknown:

times a month. And I don't really like this, I need

Unknown:

something else. So the person might have either totally

Unknown:

healthy sex drive, or might be struggling not struggling in

Unknown:

this case, but might be dealing with a sex addiction, and is

Unknown:

putting the pressure of having his or her needs met on to his

Unknown:

partner, her partner. So in this case, we would have to go back

Unknown:

and find out okay, where does that strong sex drive come from?

Unknown:

Is this your natural self? Or are you overcompensating for

Unknown:

something and your partner's suffering because you make them

Unknown:

feel not enough the whole time. And of course, your partner is

Unknown:

going to start avoid you and run away from you because you're

Unknown:

demanding something that they can't fulfill. And nobody wants

Unknown:

to be in a relationship like that. I'm going to stop right

Unknown:

here because relationship coaching is a way different

Unknown:

topic. But I hope you get my drift, that some needs are

Unknown:

simply not natural,

Unknown:

and are way too much for another person to fulfill. In a

Unknown:

relationship. We're not in a dependency but in an

Unknown:

interdependent relationship where we need each other, but we

Unknown:

can't abuse each other to fulfill each other's needs. We

Unknown:

have to be very conscious about who we are Once again, the

Unknown:

better you know yourself, the healthier relationships you will

Unknown:

have, because then you will exactly know, shit. I'm dealing

Unknown:

with a sex addiction. And I have to be careful to not overwhelm

Unknown:

my partner, I have to find a way to heal, and to set expectations

Unknown:

that are healthy towards myself and towards others. So first

Unknown:

thing you look at your needs. Second thing, once you've done

Unknown:

the detective game, you need to look at how you can fulfill your

Unknown:

own needs. And now please Don't roll your eyes. Because I did

Unknown:

that for probably a decade or longer. I thought, I just can't

Unknown:

fulfill my needs, I need other people. I need friendship, I

Unknown:

need relationship, I need romance. Otherwise, I don't feel

Unknown:

I exist, and especially my needs, they can't get fulfilled.

Unknown:

If I'm not in a strong connection with a person. What I

Unknown:

was doing there was not only under estimating how much I

Unknown:

could meet my own needs, but also putting the people in my

Unknown:

life under pressure to always having to fit my needs, and

Unknown:

otherwise was guilt trip them or make them feel shitty about not

Unknown:

being a good friend. How horrible is that? Yeah, I feel

Unknown:

lots of shame for this. Until I found out, damn, I gotta heal, I

Unknown:

gotta, you know, I'm clinging too much to people, I need to be

Unknown:

okay with being alone. I need to start meeting and fulfilling my

Unknown:

own needs. And it is very much possible. If you start with your

Unknown:

body, first, your body needs sleep. Most importantly, if you

Unknown:

don't get enough sleep, please go see a therapist, a doctor

Unknown:

asked me questions. Sleep is so incredibly essential. Next, you

Unknown:

need water, you need food, you need shelter, you need to feel

Unknown:

safe and good in your environment. And if up until now

Unknown:

you realize shit, I'm not not even fulfilling those basics,

Unknown:

you have to start there. Because your body will keep signaling

Unknown:

you that you're not doing enough and that you are not imbalanced,

Unknown:

not healthy. And this will deeply affect your mind. We go

Unknown:

further into your relationships. Do you feel supported? Do you

Unknown:

feel seem to you feel heard? Do you feel understood? Do you have

Unknown:

friends that you can have fun with but also talk? Real talk?

Unknown:

Are you close to your family? Did you make peace with your

Unknown:

family? Or are you running around escaping from family

Unknown:

events? And feeling like there is a huge hole inside of you?

Unknown:

Because nothing really could replace your family so far? So

Unknown:

do you need to work on forgiveness? And then we go

Unknown:

further into your job your workplace because you spend so

Unknown:

much more time at work then sometimes with your family and

Unknown:

friends? How satisfied are you there? Are you chasing and

Unknown:

pursuing your purpose your dreams? Or are you just getting

Unknown:

the job done for a paycheck? Right? The more we have our

Unknown:

basic needs met and feel good in our life. The less we need,

Unknown:

right we need so much. We need distractions. We need fancy food

Unknown:

we need junk food, we need alcohol, cigarettes drugs, when

Unknown:

we are not satisfied, but the more we are satisfied the less

Unknown:

we need, the better companions we are as well. So going back to

Unknown:

the list, we were stuck at your workplace.

Unknown:

How do you feel in your city in the talent? Do you feel

Unknown:

connected? Do you feel a sense of belonging and if you're not

Unknown:

we need to work on this. Because if there is a big hole, you know

Unknown:

like in a Swiss cheese you can only have so many holes and if

Unknown:

you have too many holes, it's just too painful. So we have to

Unknown:

fill the holes from the bottom up. Your Foundation has to be

Unknown:

strong And then you will see that you will get less needy,

Unknown:

that you can meet your own needs. And it is from that

Unknown:

place, that you can be this awesome radiant person who

Unknown:

attracts people that are awesome and radiant and loving and

Unknown:

giving. And situations that are just so expansive and awesome.

Unknown:

But you have to do the work first, there's no way around,

Unknown:

and you cannot run around and expect from your friends to fill

Unknown:

your holes because they have their own holes to fill, it is

Unknown:

not their job, they were not born to fulfill your needs, you

Unknown:

can fulfill them first. And once you know who you truly are, you

Unknown:

will meet a person if this is what you want. And then comes

Unknown:

the third part, the communication, you will learn

Unknown:

how to be extremely confident in communicating your needs. And

Unknown:

the person in front of you will know shit, that person is

Unknown:

serious. This is what he needs. This is what he wants from a

Unknown:

relationship. Right? You will not be in a position anymore,

Unknown:

where you like, Oh, thank God, this person is dating me and

Unknown:

hanging out with me. Because I hate hanging out with myself

Unknown:

anyways, I want to be distracted by another person and I want to

Unknown:

be serving a person I want to be a provider. Nobody wants to fill

Unknown:

that hole, it's too much. People are gonna keep running away,

Unknown:

ghosting you, you will not be able to make sense of why people

Unknown:

are rejecting you. Because you are too much. And I'm really

Unknown:

scared of saying this because I know some of you might be

Unknown:

listening and already feeling. I'm too much my problems are too

Unknown:

big. I'm not enough, I suck. I don't find my place in society.

Unknown:

But please understand that if you sit with yourself and become

Unknown:

really radically honest with the stuff that you keep carrying

Unknown:

around or running away from the stuff that still makes you sad

Unknown:

that you can't let go off that this is what makes you feel not

Unknown:

enough. It is not the people around you. It is not the

Unknown:

constant situations that you run into when you feel at the end of

Unknown:

the day, everybody rejects you and nobody wants you just

Unknown:

because you haven't done the work on yourself. And at the

Unknown:

same time, isn't that so beautiful that you don't need

Unknown:

any drugs, you don't need anything outside of you not even

Unknown:

for sex, we haven't talked about sexual needs, you don't need

Unknown:

another person to have your sexual needs met. I want to go

Unknown:

so far that you don't even need porn, you have your own

Unknown:

imagination, you have chances are two hands 10 fingers, if

Unknown:

it's nine fingers, eight fingers are just five, you could still

Unknown:

use them wisely when it comes to pleasure. And you can learn to

Unknown:

pleasure and appreciate yourself on a level that no one ever did

Unknown:

before. Because you didn't allow them maybe or maybe they were

Unknown:

just not the right fit. You have to give it to yourself first.

Unknown:

And then you can go out there and share with other people from

Unknown:

a place of

Unknown:

self reliance when you don't need the other person but you

Unknown:

appreciate the other person. And this is how people are gonna

Unknown:

stick to you when they know that and that they're not fulfilling

Unknown:

some kind of weird role. But that they there because you just

Unknown:

love their companionship so much. And you learn from them.

Unknown:

You listen to them, and you're just excited to be around them.

Unknown:

And it is not some weird notion of I have to rescue that other

Unknown:

person. I have to feel like a provider because otherwise I

Unknown:

feel useless. No, you can't do this. You have to meet the

Unknown:

person on neutral grounds and then explore from there, which

Unknown:

kind of roles you both are interested to play. And during a

Unknown:

relationship that can also change. You just talk about it

Unknown:

your ex pressive about it. You notice things and then you talk

Unknown:

it out. All right, I'm gonna leave you with this. That was a

Unknown:

lot. I got really passionate. I love to get passionate with you

Unknown:

because I care so much about you. I care so much about people

Unknown:

looking at themselves and seeing the mess they're sitting in and

Unknown:

then sorting through it decluttering and becoming clear

Unknown:

and radically honest with themselves. That's the most

Unknown:

beautiful thing for me to witness. So I'm going to leave

Unknown:

you with this. As you know, this is a donation driven podcast,
