From our first cry after birth until our last breath before death, everything we do is based on getting our needs met. I enjoy doing work around basic and psychological needs because ALL our behavior is purpose driven including our symptoms! Beyond our basic needs to survive of food, water, sleep, shelter, and air, we all want our best lives, and we are motivated by seeking…what?

Based on the work of Alfred Adler, belonging, security, and significance are our three universal human needs beyond our basic survival needs. All our movement in life is directed at getting our basic and universal needs met. We strive to meet these needs either through adaptive, socially interested ways, or maladaptive, destructive ways.

Being in groups is a wonderful way to practice getting our psychological needs met in adaptive ways. Come join one of these upcoming group events to work on your sense of belonging, security, and significance!
