Key Points Summary
1. Natural ‘feel good chemicals’ are released in our body.
2. These chemicals aren’t released all of the time. They are
released at times when our 5 C Needs are met well e.g.
when we feel connection (oxytocin), achievement
(dopamine), importance and status (serotonin).
3. When our 5 C needs are met well, lots of these ‘Feel Good
Chemicals’ are released. We feel great!
4. When the 5 C Needs are not met well, instead of a stress
response, some people automatically (and subconsciously)
find ways to meet these needs (and release these chemicals)
in less helpful ways. It’s not a rational decision – it’s the
natural survival drive of a human.
