What do you need...

What do you need that you're not asking for? 

It could be something that seems challenging to bring up at work, but that you also know you can no longer do, or do without. 

Perhaps you're making excuses for a friend or partner for behaviour that you know does you harm, instead of making your needs clear. 

Maybe you need something that part of you believes you 'shouldn't' need - perhaps to the point of feeling ashamed of it. 

It can take a lot of courage to ask for what we need. But what's the cost of not doing it?
