In traditional psychology, the focus is primarily on externally observable behavior. Buddhist psychology, stemming from the Buddhist tradition, instead delves into your inner world. You learn, so to speak, to look ‘inward.’ You learn how “the Mind” works. Through homework assignments, we explore your habits and personality traits and how you can approach them more flexibly. You learn to investigate what is happening WITHIN you. In this way, it is not the people around you or the world around you that determines who you are, but rather, you determine that for yourself by being aware of everything that is happening within you. Your emotions or thought patterns also become clear to you, providing insight into their influence on your daily life.
