130. Drew #98: What Would Be Supportive to You Right Now?

130. Drew #98: What Would Be Supportive to You Right Now?

Drew is feeling independence and individuation from parents, especially when he signs a lease on a new place without using them as the guarantor. He had a breakaway moment after mom didn't show up the way he wanted her to on a phone call. He felt solitude and the "solid-tude" of relying on himself not on his parents and the anxious-attachment style that often lets him down. Drew is experiencing what it's like to choose himself and put his needs first ahead of everyone else, instead of his old pattern of putting his needs last. Doug helps him understand what it means to show up for someone the way they want, rather than the way he wants them to show up for him. It's not about mind reading - it's about communicating what would be supportive to you and asking someone what feels supportive to them.
