self actuaisation

• Self-actualisation

  • All levels of the hierarchy must be reached before a person can reach self actualisation
• Personal growth is an essential part of what it is to be human

  When an individual has self-actualised, the feelings are described as the ultimate feeling of well-being and satisfaction
• • We are naturally driven to achieve self-actualisation, however...
• • There are barriers that may prevent a person from reaching their potential
• Maslow stated that, by passing through these various stages, we meet all the needs that then allow for us to self-actualise
• BAD NEWS – When we do self actualise, it is not a permanent feeling or state. It is reliant on these needs all being met consistently and permanently - and this isn't always possible.
