Review of the Coping Trajectory
The Full Picture
The spiral for has been drawn on the TET for the by treating each Quest as a distinct . As the spiral develops, the values of each mode cumulate to form Stages.
The first mode comes into existence without much thought: it is obvious that we have to work. Progress then develops in two cycles. Cycle-1 addresses the need to master the entanglement with reality that is unavoidable with endeavours. Cycle-2 then strengthens the capacity to withstand unexpected stresses. The spiral process can stop at any Stage if coping is judged sufficient.
Progression through the two cycles is driven by competition, social expectations, personal ambitions and aspirations, and external pressures and threats.
- Examine patterns in coping.
- Compare the two Quest orientations: thriving and goodness.
