**D. Fulfill wants and needs without infringing on the rights of others.**
This question reflects Glasser's 5 basic needs and if one of these needs are not met, mental health issues arise (like a balancing act; you need all 5 basic needs to remain in mental "homeostasis."). RT also focuses on changing your own behavior, as only you are in control of meeting these needs. Blaming objective circumstances or outside forces reflects regression in therapy. The key here is to not infringe on others, as stated above, only you are responsible for, and have the ability, to change your actions in order to meet the 5 basic needs. For future reference, the 5 basic needs are as follows:
1. Power (sense of self worth and/or achievement)
2. Love and belonging (to love and be loved/having notion that you belong to something bigger than yourself)
3. Fun (self-explanatory, but in other words, a sense of satisfaction/pleasure)
4. Freedom (to feel and be independent)
5. Survival (knowing the need for food, shelter, and sex are met)
Hope the description helps in accordance with the correct answer :slight_smile:
