Three Key Points:
We come into this world as infants that had to depend on the people and the world around us for even our most basic needs. We truly had to learn everything to initially survive and then to thrive. We then developed our beliefs around what we felt it took to have our needs met.
Because we depend on others, we learn to do and be what makes them happy or at least what we believe will result in us getting our needs met. We learn to please others because if we don’t they might not be there for us.
The beliefs that we develop from these experiences are the ones we carry into our lives. If we don’t change them, we will continue to search for love and acceptance on the outside instead of giving it to ourselves and knowing that we are enough just the way we are.
