Ignoring psychological needs

We have a culture of ignoring psychological needs, more so in the modern world ...

They are ignored so much that one even forget there are needs like completing the grief and stress cycles, being in a safe company when vulnerable etc.

Our nervous system gets overloaded and reacts (fight/flight/freeze) ... we then gaslight ourselves on being reactive because that's how we have been treated by others as well against such needs ...

We are gaslighted because reactions are also not socially acceptable (لوگ کیا کہیں گے) ۔۔

We are rather expected to practice alternative socially acceptable behaviors, but never address the root cause of our reactions.

We are expected to force ourselves into certain social norms, and even religious card is used for that matter even, despite religion originally has nothing against those ignored primal psychological needs, rather help in fulfilling those needs in many ways ...
