Biology
Biology is the living, physical foundation of human experience: the body and brain, inherited characteristics, development, physiology, and health. It shapes what is possible for us, while also responding to experience and surroundings.
What this domain can include
- Physical health, illness, pain, and sensory experience
- Brain and nervous system functioning
- Genetics, development, hormones, and other bodily processes
- The body’s changing needs across time
Questions to explore
- What is happening in the body, and what would help clarify it?
- Could sleep, stress, illness, medication, or other physical factors be relevant?
- What professional support is appropriate for this concern?
Biology is one part of a larger picture. Experiences in the body can affect mood, routines, relationships, and meaning; those areas can also influence how the body is experienced.
