Honoring Your Needs

Many of us know what we need — yet expressing it can feel uncomfortable, risky, or even selfish. This gentle, practical workshop is designed to help you understand why expressing needs feels hard and to build real, usable skills for communicating them with clarity, calm, and confidence.  Through discussion, reflection, and guided practice, you’ll learn how to honor yourself without guilt — and how honest expression can actually strengthen your relationships, not strain them.

• Why expressing needs can feel vulnerable — even when you’re self-aware

• The difference between needs, wants, expectations, and demands

• How to name your needs clearly, calmly, and without apology
