This is quite an interesting concept. I have found myself unusally drawn to Mezirow’s Transformational Learning theory. At first glance, there seems to be a bit of overlap in the Threshold concept as well. Both deal with this “portal/gateway” to a new understanding/interpretation of a previously understood view of different aspects of the world. Both are powerful, and I would argue, rare occurrences whereby one sees a distinct difference between the past and the present with respect to behavior.
As I countinue to delve into more theorists, I am amazed at both which particular concepts I connect with as well as the continuos overlap between individuals, concepts, and theories.
