We all want to connect, to communicate, to belong…

Session 6: The Interpersonal Imperative

  • Physical: Survival is the highest priority
  • Safety and protection: A sense of security
  • Belonging: friends, community, family, intimate relationships
  • Esteem: Accomplishments / self-worth
  • Self-actualization: Being self-aware enough to achieve your full potential

Affection – the desire to give/receive love and liking

Inclusion – desire to be social and be included in groups

Control – the desire to have some influence on people & events in our lives

To be self-actualized is to always be growing and evolving.
