I heal me, for you! You heal you, for me!
Everything we do is to meet a need.
Whose needs are you meeting? Yours or Theirs?
Do you know the difference?
Connecting in with your own feelings, emotions, thoughts, beliefs and needs leads you towards understanding yourself, your decisions, choices, actions and behaviours - past and present.
There is a fine line of distinction between feelings and emotions, thoughts or beliefs that it may be easy to become confused. Needs, wants and desires also have their own distinctions.
Once we are noticing and listening to all of our own cue's, a new experience of life opens up that we can then begin to live our life more consciously.
We are able to create and respond to a life we want - in harmony with who we really are and ensuring all our needs are met for freedom and aliveness.
Allow yourself to flow with these and in turn flow with Life!
Everything you do and have done in life has been in its own way, a remedy to meet a known need or an unconscious unmet need.

What are Needs?
Something that is required because it is essential or very important rather than just desirable.
Subsistence, protection, affection, understanding, participation, recreation (in the sense of leisure, time to reflect, or idleness), creation, identity and freedom.
A Simple Illustration:
FEELINGS - If you became very angry at someone but held that anger inside - you 'store or supress' that feeling within in. Over time, when we don't express our feelings in a healthy way - this can cause stress, suffering, health issues and more - otherwise known as nervous system dysregulation and we can become dissociated from our body (emotionally numb).
It is biologically correct to express our feelings in a healthy way aka to experience the wholeness of our range of human emotions.
Counselling can help you learn to express your feelings in a healthy way.
------------------------
EMOTIONS - An EMOTION is the outward expression or reaction of a FEELING. Such as, if you became angry and let yourself explode, either verbally or physically, the feeling of anger would then be manifesting itself as an EMOTION. In other words, the EMOTION (e-motion / energy in motion) is the result of an intense feeling and a thought coming together.
Counselling can help you learn to understand how to experience your emotions in a healthy way.
------------------------
BELIEFS - Are established in our psyche as a result of the conclusions we unknowingly or unconsciously establish (or inherit from social expectation/conditioning) from the experiences our feelings and thoughts bring to us. Often our beliefs need inquiry, as not all beliefs we hold are true.
Counselling can offer you tools to inquire into your beliefs, especially the ones that cause stress or unconscious suffering. See Universal Beliefs below.
------------------------
THOUGHTS - Our mind is constantly thinking and we are either conscious or unconscious of all of the thoughts or whether they are true or not. Some thoughts we have, we act upon and others we don't. The thoughts we have about something are often assumptions - until we inquire to prove their truth. Something that causes us stress or a feeling is often a thought about it, and not the actual event occurring before us.
Counselling can offer you tools to inquire into your thoughts (often also called beliefs), especially the ones that cause stress or unconscious suffering.
------------------------
NEEDS - Are things that people require to survive and to be developmentally satisfied. Food, water, clothing, and shelter are all basic needs. If a human body does not have those things, the body cannot function and will die. NEEDS are also defined according to the existential categories of being, having, doing and interacting.
Counselling can offer you insights to help you understand your needs which are often over looked aka unmet. Our needs are more than the well known survival needs. See Feeling & Needs tree below.
"To know yourself, you must sacrifice the illusion that you already do."

Here are some questions to ask yourself?
Where do your thoughts or beliefs come from?
Are your thoughts about something or someone correct?
Are your thoughts yours or did you inherit them from someone else?
Where did your feelings about something or someone originate from?
Are your feelings and emotions about something or someone correct?
Are your thoughts or beliefs bringing you peace or stress?
Who would you be without your stressful thoughts or beliefs?
How do you treat yourself or others when you believe your stressful thoughts?
What is the cost to you of maintaining, keeping your stressful thoughts or beliefs?
What behaviours or actions do you find yourself doing when you have stressful thoughts?
Do you know what your own needs are to be free, happy, at peace, feel connection, feel safe at all times?
In any given day, where are your needs being met and where are you meeting the needs of others?
Who do you really want to be and are your thoughts, beliefs, needs, feelings and emotions aligned to this version of you?

Sometimes we are so focused on what we want, we miss the things we need.
