We all have core yearnings that make us human. In today's episode I'll introduce you to six core human yearnings that stem out of the therapeutic approach of acceptance and commitment therapy, and how trauma can impact these essential core yearnings.

  • Coherence
  • Feeling
  • Orientation
  • Belonging
  • Self-directed Meaning
  • Competency
