Would it also support the idea of suffering as a means for growth? So, as a psychologist and someone with past experience of intense suffering, I embarked on an investigation. Four years ago it struck me that religion and the contemplative traditions had commandeered the discussion around suffering and I wondered what a scientific, psychological view of suffering would say.
The major religious traditions all speak of suffering as an inherent part of life, part of God’s purpose or part of the human condition, and without exception these traditions suggest that suffering is an avenue for insight and personal growth.
