Every human has basic physical and emotional needs that must be met to some degree to avoid mental distress. They include:
We are born with abilities that help us get these needs met:
These abilities can sometimes be misused to make us unhappy, as when we continuously dwell on old hurts, or imagine dangers where there are none.
Human Givens therapists are trained to focus on helping clients to get their emotional needs met by using their natural resources in more effective ways. Because humans are by nature superb problem solvers, a human givens therapist will not try to solve your problems for you but empower you to solve them for yourself. He or she will do this by using a wide range of techniques based on up-to-date findings from psychology and neuro-biology.
