Do you find yourself often feeling insecure, unsafe, wishing you had control over your environment and other stressors?

This instrument is illustrated by a diagram showing the Survival Bricks as the basic foundation of every person’s life.  These Bricks compose our most primal needs – a foundation upon which all of our personal experiences and growth are based.  The remainder of the diagrams lists the many other needs of every child, and of every adult and how to fill those needs.

Issues addressed:

• Learn the basic Survival needs of every human being which create the foundation upon which our lives are built: Safety, Security, Stability, Consistency, and a Sense of Control Over My Environment
• The needs of the child are expanded to include items such as love, touch, attention, support, encouragement, belonging, respect, self worth, and so forth
• The needs of an adult reveal the desire for Intimacy – physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual to be a primary factor; plus other issues such as self-worth as a separate person, partner, parent, in a career, and in contribution to life
• Discover the major impact on the human psyche when these needs are not met, and/or are violated, and leave “holes” and “cracks” in a person’s emotional foundation
• Identifying your “holes” and “cracks” – how and by whom were they created
• Realizing you possibly have attempted to fill these “holes” and “cracks” with substances, activities and especially with relationships – but now recognizing they will never, ever be enough
• Understanding that only you, with God/Your Higher Power, can fill these “holes” and “cracks” and become a healthy parent to yourself.
