When Your Core Needs Are Not Met - Taken From Honestly Better Mental Fitness Session 4

What role do your family relationships play when it comes to how you see and interact with the world as an adult? And how should you approach them to better understand yourself and grow as a person?

In this episode, coach Travis Ramsey talks about the impact that family relationships have on how you go through life – from understanding the impact of your childhood and the different brain states, all the way to communication patterns, and what happens when your core needs aren’t met.

Listen to learn why you should leave space for yourself and how navigating your past will improve your present and future.

• Emotional needs are as powerful as physical needs. Having food and water growing up doesn't necessarily translate into turning out just fine as an adult.
• Addiction and attachment are very strongly connected. Insecure attachment often leads to addiction because we’re leaning into that safety we didn’t have growing up, and we find attachment in another thing (which creates addiction).
• Trauma is not what happens to you, trauma is what happens inside of you as a result of the events.
• Insecure attachment can lead to no longer trusting yourself, feeling ashamed of who you are, feeling as if you aren’t good enough, as well as not having a good relationship with yourself, with your body, with your ability to trust others, and with your view of the world.
• Addiction roots are an insecure attachment, and addictions stimulate the same receptors and endorphins as secure attachment.
