Welcome to another episode of The Good Mood Clinic Podcast!

In this episode Gemma discusses the importance of having our core emotional needs met adequately in early life.  What are these needs and what can happen if our parents/primary attachment figures do not meet our needs on a regular basis.

Gemma discusses some of the psychological consequences and Schemas that can develop as a result.  

●safety, stability & predictability
●secure, loving, nurturing bond (warmth, validation, ‘being seen’)
●autonomy & growing independence
●expression of emotions, needs, thoughts (allowance of authenticity)
●spontaneity, creativity & play 
●realistic limits, self-discipline, impulse control
