Process-oriented psychology

Process-oriented psychology is a way of looking at behavior and thinking about how to help people make changes in their lives. It focuses on understanding the processes (or steps) that make up how people think and what makes them do certain things. It looks closely at how people make decisions, how they interact with other people, and how their past experiences influence their behavior. In process-oriented psychology, it is thought that by understanding these processes, it can help people make positive changes. For example, if someone is having a difficult time managing their emotions, they can look at the processes they are going through when they experience those emotions and try to identify which steps may need to be changed or adjusted to better manage the emotion. By understanding these processes and how they work, people can work to change their behavior and make positive life changes.
