Readers will also learn to watch out for "Warning Signs" alerting them to often unconscious and unmet "Psychological Needs," "Deceptions" they may fall prey to, and the negative behaviors of their "Distress" sequence when trying to meet these Needs on their own. Ultimately, the purpose of this book is to help youth understand and find joy in who they were created to be. This book presents the Process Spiritual Model™ based on the original work of Dr. Taibi Kahler’s Process Communication Model®.
