We often assume that our strongest impulses reveal what we truly need. Yet, like the warm shower that cools the body more effectively than a cold one, our deepest needs are sometimes hidden beneath the very reactions that seem designed to satisfy them. What if maturity begins by learning to distinguish the two?
