A Hierarchy of Human Needs

To reach our full potential, some human needs must be fulfilled. Growing up in an environment without these needs, we grow up automatically without realizing that our needs have not been met and are not being met. We often feel confused and chronically unhappy.

1. Survival

2. Safety

3. Touching, skin contact

4. Attention

5. Mirroring and echoing

6. Guidance

7. Listening

8. Being real

9. Participating

10. Acceptance

11. Opportunity to grieve losses and to grow

12. Support

16. Sexuality

17. Enjoyment or fun
