Seven Things for the Soul
What We Really Need to Stay Mentally Healthy
We are usually very aware of our physical needs such as sleeping and eating. If we neglect them, we quickly feel the effects. But what about our basic emotional needs such as connection with others, feeling valued or being allowed to experience ourselves as authentic? If we do not adequately tend to these needs, the consequences for our health are just as serious – however, we usually feel the effects with a delay instead of immediately. We may no longer feel so alive. We may be exhausted and discouraged to the point of physical or psychological symptoms or illnesses.
Renowned psychotherapist Christian Firus describes the seven basic needs of our soul and how we can feel and satisfy them. Only when these needs are sufficiently satisfied in everyday life, at work and in interpersonal relationships can we be well-prepared to face life and its challenges.
