Human Givens

When therapists work intelligently from the Human Givens approach, progress is usually swift and inevitable.
The European Therapy Studies Institute

The Human Givens are our emotional needs and the innate tools we possess to meet these needs. Our emotional needs include:

• Security and safety
• Intimacy and friendship
• Attention and interaction
• Autonomy and control
• Connection to others and a sense of community
• Sense of status and competence
• Privacy

The possibilities, for the beneficial therapeutic use of hypnosis, really are endless. When all these elements for therapeutic change are put together, the results are effective, long lasting and life improving.
