Hello, I’ve made a little self-poll for you to just get clear on how some of the key people in your life have let you know what they need. And perhaps how some of the key people in your life taught you to ask for what you need (or not ask…as the case may be).
You can retake this poll, as many times as you like, once each for all the key people in your life and find out where they land on the ‘soul-sucking’ spectrum.
This is such important data for you to be able to understand your own thoughts, feelings and actions towards yourself and with others.
Keep in mind, your answers here don’t obligate you to do anything - you don’t have to take action, call that person out, leave that relationship or start yelling ‘i told you so’ unless you really want to - but i don’t advise it.
This information is just part of the information I’m going to help you collect so that you can be sure you’re seeing yourself, the other person and the situation clearly, and so you can make the most intelligent and beneficial choices for everyone concerned.
So right now, we’re just gathering a little information you and me about what’s really going on in your world, and what we need to prioritize in our work together.
So…think about any relationship from your past or present - think about that person and how they took care of their half of their relationship with you. How did they let you know what they wanted or needed or liked or didn’t like?
Then answer the following questions as honestly as you can for how this person handled things overall - not necessarily always - but more often than not… and I’ll catch up with you when you’re done the quiz.
