As challenging as it is to identify your own needs, researchers have also struggled to identify a widely accepted needs theory. This makes sense, everyone’s needs are different and unique! Regardless of your unique needs, it is clear that getting our needs met matters! Fun fact, it has even been shown to help in manage the impact of our unique attachment styles (Wei et al., 2005). We used categories from Basic Psychological Needs Theory (Van den Broeck et al., 2016 ) and a rendition of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (Sosteric & Raktovic, 2020) to inform our wheel. With distinct needs and actionable steps to meet those needs, The Needs Wheel is sure to be a staple in all therapeutic settings.
