In therapy today, my individual IOP therapist talked a lot about me needing to trust me that I can handle my emotional needs.

What?!!

I literally have no idea what she is talking about. I know I can handle physical needs that I have like if my car breaks down I am reasonably sure I can deal with that problem. But I have no idea of how to take care of emotional needs. Furthermore I am not sure I am aware what my emotional needs are.

She went on about internal validation verses external validation and how I need more internal validation. So lost. I really have no clue what she is talking about.
