Essential emotional needs that MUST be met to be mentally healthy | Human Givens

Ivan Tyrrell talks about the innate emotional needs that must be met for good mental health. The goal of all therapy should be to get these needs met as far as possible. Fortunately, nature has given us resources (see the next video: "8 innate resources we all have to help us meet our emotional needs and be mentally well") to help us get our needs met. The emotional needs are: 1. The need to feel secure 2. To feel that we have autonomy and control 3. To give and receive attention 4. To have friendships and intimacy 5. To feel connected to the wider community, 6. To feel recognised and have status within the community 7. To have the privacy to reflect and consolidate our life experiences 8. To have competencies and achievements 9. To feel we have meaning and purpose in our lives Find out more about the human givens: https://www.humangivens.com/human-giv...
