I was crying by the end of the video. Thank you for making it, Jessica and team. As someone who grew up not feeling seen by my parents, despite their love for me… this speaks to me so deeply.

Love this -- thanks so much team! I noticed that in the information section I am not seeing links on how to recognize needs, could this be looked into? Many thanks as always❤

Thank you for this. I've just come out of a secondary relationship that had really become unhealthy due to how much of myself I was sacrificing to support them emotionally, but I didn't realize until it ended catastrophically. But like you, I feel it's a pattern I've fallen into. Listen to the Phoebe Bridgers song "Savior Complex" off her Punisher album.

Karpman’s Drama Triangle. Persecutor, Rescuer, Victim. As each person acts out one of those roles, they start to become one of the other roles. If no one ever steps off the triangle, (and some of the things you mention will get a person off from being on it) nothing will change. Around and around in pain.

Thank you for making this video. It was very relatable and makes me think who I am in terms of needs. A giver, a matcher, idk. In the past I've always tried to give a lot. But so many times things just backfired. So, in way I got more careful. But it also got me thinking to my needs in the past. One of those needs was a proper diagnose. Which I never got, because my mom wouldn't see my need. The hardware store & oranges analogy made me smile XD Extra kudo's on how you integrated the sponsored content of copilot. It really felt like a story in a story. ❤️

I love this vid so much. I actually got goosebumps when you said I AM THE ADULT IN THE ROOM because that's something I work so hard on. Pretending that I can find my needs and meet them because I'm an adult. I finally have an incredible, supportive, interdependent friend group and we all help push one another to verbalize our needs and give and get help on things. You're awesome!! Thank you for posting this :)

I'm going through trauma therapy right now and this video was timed perfectly. The emotional neglect trauma I suffered was similar to yours, although some of the circumstances were different. I'm still unraveling the part about needs, and you mentioned sharing resources about identifying human needs, but I didn't see those in the description. Did my ADHD brain miss those? :) Thanks for all you do, Jessica and team. It's a comfort to have a community where our neurodiversity is the norm and we can freely learn, share and support each other. You've created a beautiful thing!

I am also crying crying crying... I don't know how I missed this before now. But wow. I need to figure out how to articulate my needs to my manager. I've had a hard go of this. Lots of thinking to do on this topic.
