After 2 years with someone I thought was finally 'my person', she ended things 7 weeks ago, while I'm enduring extreme isolation with basically 6 months of lockdown in Australia. Coupled with severe BDD, at age 43 this last few months have been the hardest since my early 20s. Your videos have helped me cling to sanity, and I know I can continue to grow and be a better person, even when all hope feels lost. Thankyou.

[@WahkeenaSitka]

Oh dear one, I so feel you. I just went through the same thing this summer.... In solidarity.

[@annemarliac4947]

Same here, stuck in WA Australia, family back in Europe, breakup after 8 years together, it was my decision but nevertheless the most difficult one, this year has been by far the hardest of my life but what a time of growth and reflection, there is a reason to everything hey.....2021 will be better, you can do it, we can do it. Look after yourself for now

[@clappymake]

Felt that. My partner from Australia left me and then passed away in January of last year. Here's to personal growth.

[@morehn]

I wouldn't take this video as gospel. You don't need other people to be compatible with you to meet your needs. She speaks about ways we were nurtured and that makes us who we are. It's only nurture, so you can always adapt. I don't think you have to feel like you know she was for you when there's no way to know that. You wanted to assume it. Let it go. You'll get someone more fitting for you.

[@tachibanamei6647]

Self care has been helpful to me. Setting up things that feel good: electric fireplace, pink salt lamp, oils diffuser, furry rugs, blankets and pillows, my sweet cat, a fan for white noise. These work collectively to create a safe and nurturing place for me in my loft bedroom. 💗

6 Basic Human Needs 1. Certainty (Safety, security, order, structure) 2. Uncertainty (Novelty, change, adventure) 3. Growth 4. Contribution 5. Love and Connection 6. Significance (Meaning, having a sense of purpose, approval)

[@crowekirstin1]

I would add Ease. We don't just need achievement and forward movement

[@DeborahLorraine]

6 basic human needs: Certainty Uncertainty! Interesting!! Growth Contribution Love and connection Significance Triggered by people who "threaten" an unmet need. How do we meet our own needs? Knowing what we need and being able to communicate that need effectively. Need to "fill our own cup halfway" before being able to get needs met from others. Needs are like buckets, when filled feel happy and fulfilled. Desperation pushes people away and sabotages our efforts to get needs met from others. Recognize what basic human (unmet) need is driving your (bad) behavior.

[@lotusblossom11]

For anyone interested, Rosenberg's nonviolent communication is another good resource on this topic 🙂

[@philb6046]

That is some amazing stuff!!! Regarding blame and judgement being about others using it to let you what is this need that is not getting met.. Could actually be a gift or opportunity to allow someone express or even discover their needs and can help the attachment grow closer by discovering what is alive in your caring, loving partner and help discover how you can both help each other by wanting to provide what you can and want to do for them and your life together while also getting your needs met either with them or by yourself.. nonviolent communication and all his videos are remarkable in discovering this.. so beneficial in relationships!!!

[@AsexualiseMyAsexualLife]

I am only happy when I am living like a teenager constantly. I like having fun, lights, cameras, noise and action, entertainment, such a self-date at the cinema, watching movies, (going to theme parks, zoos, aquariums), clubbing, most of the time being on my own doing this stuff. I feel connected to my soul and that I need to do to this to care for my inner child, and if I don’t, I cannot do much work. I literally get my inner child talking to me in the background of my mind, and putting her foot down and saying you need to watch a movie now, like I will feel I have to watch a movie to relax, and feel magical and special, and Motivated more to pursue my dreams, and feel like a superhero myself. And if I don’t I start feeling poorly.. I feel better going to sleep in the early hours, doing stuff all the time, and fill myself up again. i like living a high octane, energetic life, and living this unconventional life. And it was going to an event with Tony Robins as part of it, that made me realise I need to constantly live like a teenager, regardless of my birth certificate age and what people may think, to be my true authentic self. It’s going back to the source of who I am truly am. But I don’t understand which of those basic needs would this meet? Why do I need to often watch movies to feel good otherwise I just cannot work? I feel like that should be my reward after I have worked, but it doesn’t work like that for me. I feel guilty, as I sometimes have a lot of self employment work to do, but cannot do it until or unless I watch movies as and when my inner child demands. Could you please tell me why this is the case? I feel like having constant fun and magical feelings is my base default and need, almost like food and oxygen. And I get debilitated without this, but I have no idea why it feels like a basic need. Like my soul is dying and I am running on empty, why is this so essential , almost equivalent to breathing for me? When, I feel it shouldn’t be the case. I don’t think it’s uncertainty as it’s a regular thing for me, unless I have misunderstood? Please, so what need would this be? I am really stuck with this and confused? As an extrovert I do also get energised from other people being around me, even if not talking to them, I feel like I get re-booted up like Iron man. I can literally soak up the energy of others to be stronger in myself. And I do believe I have some real life superhero qualities.

[@Exodus5K]

I am particularly interested in understanding why we are prone to sabotaging things when trying to get your needs met from a position of desperation. I'm AA and my wife is DA, we get into these feedback loops where she detaches from me, I react in a way that's wanting reassurance from her, and she reacts by detaching more. Once this has escalated enough (I'm sufficiently desperate) I start to sabotage the relationship. I start talking earnestly about divorce, and in those moments it feels like achieving the certainty that the relationship is over is infinitely better than the continual detachment.

[@georgekarma1375]

I can empathized 100%. Have you learned how to improve in any way? How’s it going?

[@Exodus5K]

She left a month and a half ago and we're going through divorce. She made the final call to end the relationship. I think if we could have made things work we would have. In the end I have been iced out and emotionally abandoned for too many years, and she got tired of me being angry about it.

[@tmreaves1]

You did the right thing. Since ending a situationship that went on for three years I am at peace because it was a daily struggle asking and looking for connection. I know it hurts and I know you were married but you should not have to beg and chase anyone to love you. Work on your emotional regulation and do the inner work. So happy I found this channel. I know ots easier said then done to love yourself but everything Thais is saying is correct. You have this information and it is impossible for you to grow and learn and still accept what you had in the past. You will be in eternal and internal conflict with yourself. God bless you.

[@cavelleardiel]

When I know I need desire physical affection I get myself a massage. I remember as a kid I wanted my mom to rub my back because that was a way to meet my need for a hug which she was incapable of doing but she would rub my back.

[@LoreMIpsum-vs6dx]

Wow! This video is gold. I listen to a LOT of self-help material and no one has taken this angle (not even Tony Robbins really). This is valuable and nuanced knowledge. I definitely need to listen a couple of more times to digest it. Thank you Thais! You are amazing. ps. Don't reduce the playback speed to .50 because then Thais goes from caffeinated genius to drunk college girl. Dial it down to .75 for best results.

I’m able to meet my own needs very well almost intuitively as a DA. My issue is that I don’t know how to articulate them so as to invite partner to fill the other half. Plus deep down inside I feel I don’t have the right to ask my partner to fill the other half so I just do it myself.

[@Meaowwww]

Super interested about the sabotage reasons when we look for affection from a place of desperation!

[@AR-nl2bp]

At about 11 something minutes you mentioned about how if certainty is highly ranked, then a reckless person can threaten our need. It’s interesting because my thought was that if safety is a need but chaos was your upbringing then maybe we’d be more threatened by the unfamiliarity of a calm person - like a maladaptive need. Something to definitely try to work on and change, at least for myself!

[@miles6385]

Wow. I pretty much never comment on KZbin videos, but this just changed my life. Thank you so much.

You speak and deliver your message so fast, that sometimes it's hard to take in the information or process what you're saying. There are moments during your video where you take a pause or slow down for a moment, and it is a refreshing moment that allows me to catch my breath. I find my nervous system a little bit overwhelmed by the fast talking. I'm seriously considering signing up for your monthly membership, but this is something that makes me nervous - because I am feeling impacted by the frenetic energy. But let me just reiterate that messages are so spot on. You have a lot of incredible insight. Thank you so much for all the work you are doing and have done.

Click the wheel and select PLAYBACK SPEED, which opens a menu where you have various speed options. In the computer browser, if you open a new video from the same page where you changed the speed, the new video will keep the speed you selected. But if you close the browser and reopen, I think the selected speed option resets. I'm not exactly sure when the speed resets and when it carries over, so you'll have to experiment a little.

Regarding the need for sex: If we address the emotional aspect by filling our own tank, what about the physical aspect? I read so much about the health benefits of sexual activity with a partner, and don’t feel like I get it the same way by doing it myself or through exercise. But if sex is lacking in frequency with our partner, how do we meet that need of the glow/health we’re looking for through sex?
