Future of processing and facilitating change and learning

Figure 1 Symbolization process. Within a more complex sociocultural background (A), two individuals meet (B, B’). Something (S) affects them both in their (shared conception of) reality. An individual’s behavior and inner states and reaction to this stimulus depend on its own symbolization abilities and experiencing. This processing evolves in tight interrelation with others and happens on a somatic and a cognitive layer. The relevant other (B) resonates, reflects, metabolizes, and reacts to the event (S) and to the signals of (B’) as well and takes the perspective of B’. This reaction again influences the processing of the event (S) by B’, also applied in the symbolization process.
