THE 12 PILLARS OF THE PATH OF WELL-BEING
Rick Hanson, Ph.D. built the approach in the Foundations program by applying the four sources of well-being—Recognizing, Resourcing, Regulating, and Relating—to our three fundamental needs—Safety, Satisfaction, and Connection—thus creating the 12 Pillars of Well-Being.
