You now have a tool that you can refer to whenever you feel stuck or revert to old habits. And if you work with clients, you know this will be a fantastic resource. After using the Basic Needs inventory, you have data and a mental picture of your own or the client's life and support system. By checking in with these needs, it's an objective way to see what has changed, and you can use EFT to release any emotions as well as empower others to find their own solutions - based on facts!

If you are in a tricky spot in life and don't know where to start with your own desires, this gives you a concrete place to start.

For practitioners and health coaches, people often come to us with a pressing issue, and we know the power of this technique to create change in this area. But what about deeper life-long change and habit making? Once the pressing issue is resolved, clients can still want to work on improving the rest of their life. Using the Human Needs framework they can see what areas in their lives are working well and what areas are not - they can then make the empowering choice which need/area to address first.  

Real empowerment comes from having your own tool box. No therapist in the world can make up for you learning your own regulation techniques. This is a tool for life. In fact many people like to fill it in on birthdays or other dates during the year. And of course when we hit a tricky point in life. 

For anyone working with clients, we know that the ending of a therapy journey is as important as the beginning. We know that many of you love to teach your clients EFT so that they have a tool for life - and can take into their homes and communities  - giving them this framework amplifies that focus. You can give them the handouts and remind them to use it on special days or if they hit a tricky season.  It  shows clients RESULTS and exactly how they have changed specific areas of their lives so they feel good about the time they have spent with you. Which they then tell their communities about.
