The Human Givens or Emotional Needs Audit

This article focuses on a way of determining what underlies depression and anxiety. What emotional needs are not being met. It is surprising how just knowing what is missing in your life can lead you to make some quite dramatic positive changes. It can also show important people in your life what your needs are which can improve relationships. Have a look at how you score on this scale. Any score of 3/7 or less indicates an area that you need to address to improve your situation.
