Communicating Your Needs For a Deeper Co...

Jeff Guenther, Alex Moskovich & Wave Podcast Network
About this episode

This week, Jeff and his guest co-host Amanda Feaver, LPC, dive into a relatable topic: feeling insecure in a new relationship. Their caller opens up about her struggle to find a balance between wanting to ask for more and fearing she might scare this new guy off by being too “needy.” Jeff and Amanda provide insightful advice on how to communicate your needs without feeling overbearing, emphasizing that labels like "needy" and "overbearing" are often just stories we tell ourselves in the first place, and there's nothing wrong with voicing what we need in any relationship. Tune in to learn how to ask for what you want while maintaining a healthy relationship dynamic.
