Getting a better understanding of your emotions and needs is the key to understanding and getting to know yourself. When you develop an appropriate sensitivity about how you feel in various situations and with various people, what triggers you and which needs lie underneath all those sensations, you can learn to be self-compassionate and stand up for your needs and boundaries. This journey might take you a long time; possibly a life-time. It will demand a lot from you, but the price is worth it: this journey will make you know yourself; it will make you know your truth.
