Experiential Psychology
Experiential Psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on understanding human experiences and how they shape behavior and emotions. It emphasizes the importance of personal experiences, perceptions, and feelings in understanding psychological processes. This approach often involves qualitative research methods, such as interviews and observations, to gather in-depth insights into individuals' lived experiences.
This field is closely related to concepts like phenomenology and humanistic psychology, which also prioritize subjective experiences. By exploring how people interpret their experiences, Experiential Psychology aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of mental health and well-being, ultimately informing therapeutic practices and interventions.
