Episode notes

Approval, control, security, and oneness are the four core wants that all human beings have. Approval involves the desire to be liked, loved, valued, respected, and wanted. Control is the desire for the world to align with our beliefs about how it should be. Security is the need for safety, survivability, and the preservation of identity. Oneness represents a sense of connectivity and spiritual unity, providing a feeling of not being fundamentally alone. These core wants are natural, instinctual, and essential for human well-being, as they are deeply ingrained within us from a young age.
