Couch Cope
This is the creation of two best-friends who want to share the simple fun of playing and having deep conversations about life, mental health, well-being, and all the nerdy, geeky shit, that we are all into. We want this to be just like the old days of playing video games on Saturday nights, having the time of our lives, making memories, talking about the things we're into, the games we play, the movies we've seen and lives we've lived.
This is for the kid in us, may they forever live

EP 6: Self compassion and emotional validation: The importance of core emotional needs
Why are our core emotional needs important?
It is old knowledge to know that we must nourish our bodies in order to live fully, but we don’t often talk about our emotional needs and how important they are. They affect not only the way we see ourselves, but the way we see others as well. They shape the way we think other people perceive us, even the way we relate to the people in our school and workplace.
It is important that we are aware of these emotional needs and to navigate life knowing that we need to validate these needs because not only are they tied to the way we feel, but also how successfully we navigate living our lives to the fullest.
