When we grow up afraid of losing affection, we end up creating invisible strategies to ensure that the other person stays.

We say yes when we mean no.

We silence our pain so as not to disturb.

We accept crumbs of attention thinking it is enough.

This cycle of begging for love can be repeated in friendships, romantic relationships and even in relationships with work.

The body feels: constant anxiety, fear of rejection, feeling of always being lacking.

This unbridled search does not happen because you are weak or too needy.

It comes from a deep place of emotional abandonment, which has taught your system to believe that, in order to have love, you need to nullify yourself or serve the other without questioning whether that is your truth.

In my therapeutic work, I help people look at this wound with presence and respect.

We work together to recognize the roots of this pattern and create new ways of relating.

You no longer need to insist where there is only absence.

True love doesn't need to be begged for.

With love, Sitara Ju
