True. In order to ensure your emotional needs are met, one must be free. By this, I mean you can't feel controlled. You also need to feel like you are loved. This goes along with not feeling controlled. Loved and controlled are two different things. Most humans want to be loved, whether by a significant other, or a family member, you want to be loved and valued. So yes, this is true.
Hope this helps. Best of luck to you
