About Human Givens
The Human Givens are the needs and resources that we are all born with. They include our essential biological and emotional needs and all the innate resources that have evolved in humans to help us fulfill these needs. Using our innate resources properly to get our needs met allows us to thrive rather than just survive. Our emotional needs include the need for security, intimacy, and friendship, the need to give and receive attention, the need for autonomy and control, the need to feel competent, the need to feel connected to others and be part of a wider community, the need for privacy, and the need for a sense of meaning and purpose. Our resources include rational and emotional brains, imagination, curiosity, the ability to learn, memory, and the ability to forget, problem-solving, understanding through metaphor and stories, self-awareness, resilience, empathy, and more.
What is Human Givens Counselling?
Human Givens Counselling is a talking therapy that uses proven therapeutic techniques and the most up-to-date psychological knowledge. We are trained in a highly effective technique to deal quickly with past trauma, which in many cases, only takes one or two sessions. Human Givens Counselling is always positive and aims to help you identify any unmet emotional needs and rediscover and develop your own resources in order to get those needs met. We will teach you how to relax so that you can think more clearly, find solutions, and develop skills and strategies for difficulties that may be recent or have their roots some time ago in your past.
