Phenomenology of experience
Phenomenology of experience is the careful description of how something is experienced from a first-person perspective before it is explained by theory.
Definition
In philosophy, phenomenology studies the structure of experience: perception, emotion, memory, desire, action and attention. In development practice, it helps to separate immediate experience from the automatic narrative about it. It does not replace empirical learning, but teaches precise contact with what appears in consciousness.

Practice and life
For a few minutes, describe a difficult experience without explaining: what I feel in my body, what images appear, what emotion dominates and what the focus is on.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to confuse phenomenology with any subjectivism. The second mistake is to immediately explain the experience with a theory, before it is really noticed.
