The Dark Side of Your Emotional Needs: Mind and Body

Cannibalism and psychosis. I don't generally address these two issues in one video, but here you get both.

Not literally you might be pleased to know! I'll explain why, in a way, the whole Dark Side of Your Emotional Needs series is about cannibalism, and in this installment I'll take a look at the disastrous consequences of when the need to meet the mind/body connection becomes thwarted, with some examples of the amazing mind body intertwinement.

Many of our clients, and sometimes you yourself perhaps, try to meet physical/emotional needs in ways that harm. Understanding this can help us help them.
