The Red Flag Project
Welcome to The Red Flag Project – a podcast for navigating the world of dating & relationships, schemas and attachment patterns and of course red flags. We’ll be looking more deeply into why we choose the partners we do and why we often get stuck in what we call love-traps.
This podcast is for you if you’ve ever wanted to break unhealthy relationship patterns but didn’t quite know how.
We’re your hosts Dr Gemma Gladstone and Dr Justine Corry (Clinical Psychologists, Schema Therapists and Dating/Relationships Coaches) and we look forward to helping you turn confusion and self-doubt into action and self-belief.
This podcast is for information and entertainment purposes only and is no substitute for professional or relationship advice from a registered therapist. Please seek advice that is tailored to your specific needs from a mental heath or relationship expert.

10. The Heart of the Matter: Understanding Our Core Emotional Needs
Welcome back to the Red Flag Project
In this episode we discuss core emotional needs and why they are so important for humans throughout our life. We are born into the world with needs and our emotional, social, physical and psychological well-being depends upon them. Our early care-givers are responsible for meeting our needs and as we grow and develop both ourselves and other people play a role in meeting emotional needs.
The needs discussed are:
- safety, stability & predictability
- secure, loving, nurturing bond (warmth, validation, ‘being seen’)
- autonomy & growing independence
- expression of emotions, needs, thoughts (allowance of authenticity)
- spontaneity, creativity & play
- realistic limits, self-discipline, impulse control
In schema therapy, early maladaptive schemas develop when these needs are not adequately met or are violated in some way.
