Basic needs

03.01.2020 Lichaamsgerichte psychotherapie, Persoonlijke groei, Persoonlijke ontwikkeling, Psychotherapy

Every person has two basic needs: the need for contact, connection and love. And the need for authenticity, for expression of who you are. What happens if these basic needs are not (completely) met? Then you start suppressing emotions and you lose contact with yourself and your liveliness. Gabor Maté explains it clearly.
