NEEDS

In this lesson, we are going to look at needs. We all have needs that shape our interactions and relationships. Understanding our needs, being able to express them effectively, and finding different ways to have them met is crucial for building healthy connections and ensuring personal fulfilment.

A lot of research has been done to clarify what human beings need to be happy and healthy. This has been able to demonstrate the effects that having your emotional needs met or not met has on your mental and physical health. Different studies have been able to identify themes about universal emotional needs that must be met for people to lead fulfilling lives, like security, a sense of purpose, and intimacy.

When we fully understand what our personal needs are, we can determine where they are being met and where they are not, and we can take action to address this.
