Relationship Timelines & Boundaries with your Ex, Therapy Jeff Q&A

This week, Jeff and his guest co-host Amanda Feaver, LPC, dive into a relatable topic: feeling insecure in a new relationship. Their caller opens up about her struggle to find a balance between wanting to ask for more and fearing she might scare this new guy off by being too “needy.” Jeff and Amanda provide insightful advice on how to communicate your needs without feeling overbearing, emphasizing that labels like "needy" and "overbearing" are often just stories we tell ourselves in the first place, and there's nothing wrong with voicing what we need in any relationship. Tune in to learn how to ask for what you want while maintaining a healthy relationship dynamic.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comListen to Jeff's podcast Big Dating Energy: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com/Follow Amanda on Instagram: https://instagram.com/theclimatetherapist/Jeff's TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/therapyjeff/Jeff's Instagram: https://www.tiktok.com/@therapyjeffDISCLAIMER: The insights shared in this podcast are for educational purposes only, and should not be seen as a substitute for professional therapy.
