💬 Understanding “Neediness” in Relationships - with Narcisssim Expert Dr Ruth Ann Harpur
When one partner feels the other is “too needy,” it can be helpful to step back and consider the relational dynamic rather than focusing on one person alone. Often, the way partners respond to each other can unintentionally reinforce patterns of distance and pursuit within a relationship.
Featuring Ruth Ann Harpur, this Reel highlights the importance of self-reflection when navigating these patterns. Dr Harpur explains how withdrawing or pushing a partner away can sometimes lead them to seek even more reassurance or contact, creating a cycle that leaves both partners feeling misunderstood.
By making small, proactive shifts — such as expressing care during the day or setting aside intentional time to connect — partners can begin to change the dynamic. These small acts of connection can often reduce anxiety within the relationship and help create a more balanced and secure bond.
