This week introduces the foundation of core human needs and how they shape emotional wellbeing, development, and sense of self. We begin by exploring the most fundamental needs for survival and regulation, including food, water, pleasure, rest, safety, and love. These early needs form the base of emotional security and nervous system stability. You will begin identifying how these needs were met, partially met, or unmet, and how this may still influence your life today.

This week focuses on relational and emotional needs that shape how we connect with ourselves and others. We explore trust, acceptance, nurture, comfort, being seen and heard, and validation. These needs influence attachment, self-worth, and emotional safety. You will begin recognising patterns in relationships and understanding how unmet emotional needs can shape behaviours, beliefs, and coping responses.

In week three, we explore deeper identity-based needs including mattering, belonging, connection, and relationships. We also explore purpose, affection, intimacy, and beauty. These needs influence how we experience connection, meaning, and fulfilment in life. This week supports deeper self-awareness and understanding of how unmet needs can impact identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.

The final week focuses on reconnection and healing through needs such as awe, spirituality, higher power, and spiritual connection. We explore pathways toward healing, integration, and ongoing growth. This week brings together everything learned throughout the program, helping you move forward with greater self-awareness, compassion, and practical insight for continued healing.
