The Basic View of Human Nature as seen Through my Theoretical Lens
At this stage of my therapeutic development as I contemplate what my basic view of human nature means through my theoretical lens, I compartmentalize my worldview perceptions. My thinking, feelings, and the way I act result from a culmination of experiences, values, and beliefs. As a result, I had to marry my worldview with choice of theory in developing my therapeutic orientation.

However, when anxiety is high, a third person usually enters the equation to help stabilize the relationship(cite). Triangles serve as a two-tier role. Although it can help provide stability, it can also decrease the effectiveness of resolving the issue.
