The human need for belonging

We are born with a need to connect, belong and be claimed by people who love us. This helps us feel safe and protected and provides the opportunity for us to thrive. Amelia explains how we are affected when we grow up without this stabilising force.

When we are disconnected from our tribe, and we feel as though we must make it on our own. This lack of belonging can have devastating life-long impacts.

Amelia passionately explains our need for belonging and connection - adding to this concept the idea of 'being claimed'. Using stories of people she has worked with, Amelia helps us understand what can go wrong when we are not claimed by our tribe.
