If you do not have needs, you once did. When I was born, my mother did not want me. A female child is often seen as a burden due to patriarchy.
In my deep longing to be loved and accepted, I mastered sensing my parents' needs, becoming a natural caretaker. Making someone feel at home became my favorite thing.
Designing emotionally safe spaces, professional caretaking, and nurturing others became core to my work. Inclusion, ease, and belongingness were key tenets.
Facing the decision to let go of an aggressive student, I realized my core desire to nurture stemmed from early rejection and unmet needs. Internal turmoil led to significant insight.
