Brain Needs Answers
7. World Around Me Needs are about feeling ok about the things
we are doing, the places we are going and the things
happening around us. We can see this as ‘task or experience
safety’ (in the same way that People Around Me Needs are
about ‘relational safety’).
The two different aspects of the World Around Me Needs are:
a) To feel capable – to feel I can do a good job of what I am
being asked to do. This is also about feeling generally capable
in life and feeling I can overcome any barriers that come my
way. It is also about feeling good about my strengths and
accepting any difficulties – knowing how to manage them.
b) To have a sense of control over what is happening to me.
(People who do not have a sense of control can sometimes
become ‘controlling’ in order to meet the need). This aspect of
World Around Me Needs is also about feeling enough certainty
over what will be happening and what is expected of me.
