This is the second of a 7 part series discussing our basic human needs and how they relate to a fulfilling relationships and marriage.

This episode will focus on “The Need For Recognition”.

Peterman’s Eye says: “The ancient Greeks, who knew everything, called it thymos.

Plato described it as part of the soul comprising pride, indignation, shame and the need for recognition.

The Greeks understood, even before Freud, that the need for recognition originates in childhood, when a child does not feel valued.  And if a child gets too much validation, they want more.”

We will explore what happens when we do not feel valued and what happens for us as adults when we do feel valued.
