Buddhism vs Psychology

Buddhism and psychology have a lot of the same ideas. Both schools of thought put a lot of emphasis on self reflection. Psychologists and Buddhists believe that self reflection will lead to wisdom, increased self assurance, and ultimately happiness or contentment. A famous Buddhist quote is "what did you gain from meditation 'Nothing! However let me tell you what I have lost. Anger, anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear of old age and death." All psychologist do in their daily lives is try to figure out why the human mind does what it does, this study is a never ending cycle of self reflection and how to better the technique. Carl Jung famously said "who looks outside dreams, and who looks inside awakes." So clearly both of these thoughts believe that wisdom comes from self reflection.
