The Kernel: Doom is the hangover from having experienced the loss of vulnerability. As such, Doom is often an euphemism that points to an empty psychological reservoir of this loss.

And since core needs are central to everyone, tapping into core needs is a powerful and accessible place for change. The magic of change truly lies in these places, magic we will unpack with subsequent blogs.
