S1 E9 | Activity: Wheel of Needs

In this episode, Hallie leads David and Christine through a beautiful exercise piggy backing off of the needs exercise from last episode (though this can also be used as a stand alone exercise). Hallie explains why it so important to connect to our needs and how the world might be a more supportive place to live if we all valued needs. Then, after a short "coming into presence" moment, Hallie guides us (and you) through rating each of the needs based first on our body compass then letting parts express whatever comes up for them. After getting an overall rating for how well our nine universal needs are met in this chapter of our lives, Hallie guides us in exploring how our highest and lowest rated needs could be met by Self, Support (from another person), and the Strategies our parts use to get Supply. This exercise has the potential to bring so much clarity, compassion, and creativity into our systems. Please feel free to follow along or just listen, and we'd love to hear how the exercise was for you in the comment section below. 0:00 Intro0:10 Theme Song0:36 Exercise Introduction1:48 Exercise Overview3:58 Coming Into Presence7:28 The 9 Universal Human Needs15:35 The Wheel Of Needs20:11 Rating Our Needs22:02 The Need for Safety24:59 The Need for Sustenance26:50 The Need For Rest29:22 The Need For Love30:49 The Need For Understanding32:32 The Need For Belonging35:03 The Need For Purpose36:46 The Need For Creativity39:19 The Need For Freedom41:36 Calculating Our Needs Percentage44:00 Percentage Indicators46:38 Strategy Overview52:40 The Importance Of Authenticity57:24 Lowest & Highest Scores58:41 Highest Scoring Need59:53 Highest Score Strategies1:01:31 Lowest Scoring Need1:02:16 Lowest Score Strategies1:04:21 New Strategies For Lowest Score?1:08:13 Invitation To Further Exploration1:11:02 Christine's Experience1:23:52 David's Experience1:30:21 Closing & Goodbyes1:32:00 Theme Song1:33:03 Like & Subscribe
