In
your family, were you taught that "wants" were demanding? Was it
safer to appear self-reliant and independent? If so, you grew up
trying to quell your wants and learned to take care of others while
repressing your own.
Self-reliance and independence are highly valued in our culture. I
received a lot of strokes in my family for taking care of myself.
It wasn't as if my wants disappeared. They went underground, as the
strategy I was trained to value, of always taking care of others,
came to the foreground.
Tune in to hear about a different way to be with wants!
