306 // How to Deal With Unmet Needs

RACHAEL KABLE
About this episode

Hello and welcome to episode 306 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, you'll learn about unmet needs and how to deal with them in compassionate ways. 

Getting our important needs met isn't always possible, which is why it can be so helpful to know how to look after ourselves well when that happens. 

Here are some simple and self-compassionate ways to deal with unmet needs:

- use self-soothing touch

- engage in kind self-talk

- make a positive plan to get your needs met in the future

- talk about your needs with someone you trust

If you're feeling alone and you're looking for someone to talk to about your unmet needs, I highly recommend checking out the sponsor of this episode, BetterHelp. Head over to trybetterhelp.com/themindfulkind to receive 10% off your first month. 

Thanks so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.
