A course for real people with real emotions.
Mental health struggles don’t make someone weak, they make someone human. Many of us grow up believing we should “hold it together,” “stay strong,” or “not make a fuss,” and we never learn how to recognise, process, or honour our internal world.

You’ll learn practical insights that can help you talk to your therapist, your GP, your partner, your friends, and yourself, with greater clarity and compassion.

We like to think of ourselves as rational, modern beings, but beneath the surface, we are still deeply primal. This book explores the seven emotional needs wired into the very foundation
of being human. When these needs go unmet, we struggle. When they’re recognized, nurtured, and integrated, we thrive. From our longing for connection and intimacy, to our quiet hunger for
status, security, and meaning. This is a compassionate, real-world dive into what it means to feel emotionally whole. Drawing on psychology, personal reflection, human development theory, and hard-won experience, J. Michael Hogarth guides the listener through a map of the emotional
landscape we all share. Accessible, honest, and deeply human, The 7 Primal Human Emotional Needs offers listeners insight not just into their own emotional patterns, but into the people they love, the systems they live in, and the healing they may have never known they needed.
