Our 5 Fundamental Needs

July 16, 2019 4:52 pm

To Feel:

Seen

Look what I can do

This is how I can contribute

See me achieve

Heard

Hear my concerns

Take me into account

Understood

Validate me

Normalize my feelings

Say you can relate

Accepted

Tell me I belong

Loved

Participate in the Messy with me

Commit to sticking with me through the hard shit

Let me be my whole self with you

Be your whole self with me

Children by parents

Patients by doctors

Students by teachers

Workers by managers

The led by their leaders

Spouses

Friends

What if?
