Deep dives

Different Views on Human Experience

Developed by Western psychotherapy, the developmental view emphasizes the influence of early experiences in shaping adult behaviors. It focuses on childhood trauma and unresolved patterns carried into adulthood. In contrast, the fruition view from Buddhism and psychotherapy integrates the ground, where we find ourselves, and fruition, where we want to be. It emphasizes being present in immediate experiences without the need to resolve past traumas.
