Primary Reference / Psychological Conditions Behind Seeking / Change

 

Change:

—————————

A condition that provides psychological satisfaction can change.

A relationship can change.

A circumstance can change.

A state of mind can change.

When a satisfying condition changes, the psychological satisfaction associated with it may also change.

Seeking can then arise in response to what the change has altered.

The change itself does not determine what will be sought.

What is sought depends on the condition expected to restore or provide psychological satisfaction.

Recognizing this structure clarifies why change can give rise to seeking even when the condition that preceded it was satisfactory.
