(psychologist)

Initially, I came to the course without any particular expectations, rather out of curiosity. In this curiosity, I went through the classes, studied, learned terms that were unfamiliar to me, and tried to delve into the ongoing dynamics.

In the process, I discovered a tool that I was missing. Phenomenology gives a unique view of things. Somewhere it is that very childish curiosity that allows me to study what surrounds me. Somewhere it is that very philosophizing that gives an amazing discovery and a different view behind every thought.

Thanks to the course, some specific feeling or sensation appeared when meeting with the thoughts of other people. The feeling is that it became noticeable when a person operates with terms or words, perhaps, which he had not delved into much, or a clear recognition when he did some work, walked and explored something with the help of thought.

And each such "recognition" gives something that was not there before the course. Including, as a consequence, the desire to make an effort and explore, to delve into it myself, to find answers. As phenomenology teaches, to have an unbiased attitude to what I have paid attention to. And in this impartiality, discovering something is truly important.

Therefore, Sergey, thank you very much for opening up such an unusual shade of the world for me.
