Basic Need Requirements 1.) They are hardwired into our system genetically and our system knows what is required from another in order to be met. 2.) They must first be met literally/concretely and then symbolically. 3.) They must be met in interaction at the right age, at the right time, in the right kinship relationship. 4.) No matter how old we get, our soul is always searching for completion of these needs.

Tier 2 – Memory of Trauma Too much coming in when the child is not emotionally, physically, or psychologically able to handle it.

Tier 3 – Memory of Holes in Roles Too much going out too soon. When a child experiences gaps, injustices, or unhappiness in his/her family network (the hole) and unconsciously tries to heal the problem. (the role)
