Human Givens
All human beings have
certain things in common.
No matter where you were born, you share a set of attributes with all
other
human beings on this planet. The phrase "Human Givens" refers to
those things which are a "given" of human nature - what we are born
with.
The field of human
givens recognises that in
order to live a balanced and healthy life we need to have our basic
human needs
fulfilled. When all our needs are met we are extremely unlikely to
develop
behaviours such as addiction, obsessive behaviour, anxiety and the like.
A
"Human Givens" therapeutic intervention offers effective,
practical and fast help for people who are depressed, anxious, phobic,
or
suffering from trauma, addiction, anger disorders or relationship
problems.
What are the human givens?
We all have basic physical and emotional needs such as the
need for
attention, love, security, connection and control, and the self-esteem
which
arises from competence and being stretched in our lives. Nature also
gave us
the resources to help us meet such needs including: memory,
imagination,
problem solving abilities, self-awareness and a range of different
thinking
styles to use in various changing situations. It is these needs and
resources
together, which are built into our biology, that make up the human
givens.
When emotional needs are not met or when our resources are
used incorrectly,
we suffer considerable distress. And so do those around us.
Human givens therapists focus on helping clients identify
unmet emotional
needs and empowering them to meet these needs by activating their own
natural
resources in new ways. To do this they use a variety of up-to-date,
proven
techniques aimed at problem solving.
