Imagine a life where your most basic needs are finally being met. 

If you’ve experienced Complex Trauma, you may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. The truth is: trauma often disturbs our natural cycle of fulfilling essential needs—leaving us feeling empty, anxious, and lost. But healing is possible. In this course, we’ll explore the 12 Basic Needs that are crucial for emotional and physical well-being, and show you how to restore balance so you can start living your life to the fullest.

What are the 12 Basic Needs?

The 12 Basic Needs are the foundation of your well-being. These needs impact everything from your emotions to your relationships, and when they’re neglected, the effects of Complex Trauma can overwhelm you. In this course, we’ll break down each of the 12 needs, giving you practical tools and insight to restore balance. Here’s a glimpse of what we’ll cover:  

Physical Needs

  • Food & Water: The foundation of physical health and energy.  

  • Pleasure: The ability to experience joy and satisfaction.  

  • Sex & Physical Affection: How connection and touch shape our well-being.   

Emotional Needs  

  • Acceptance & Respect: Feeling valued for who you are.  

  • Relationship & Belonging: Why healthy, secure connections matter.  

  • Security, Safety & Fairness: A sense of stability and justice in your life. 
     
  • Purpose & Significance: Discovering your value and what drives you.  

  • Rest: How taking time to rest nourishes the mind and body.  

  • Beauty: The importance of experiencing beauty in your life.  

Spiritual Needs 

  • Awe: Feeling a deep connection to something greater than yourself.  

  • God or Higher Power: Finding spiritual grounding, if it resonates with you.  

  • Feeling Happy, Satisfied & Whole: The ultimate sense of contentment and completeness.

Each of these needs plays a vital role in your recovery, and this course will help you identify and address any that may have been neglected due to trauma.
