As a survivor of sexual assault and a Zen practitioner who applied the Buddhist practice to the experience. Mark’s book is right on point beautifully. It’s the caring and compassionate arms of people who loves you that will heal you. Your own Buddha nature is that and if you have a caring friend, a good therapist or teacher, the healing is exponentially better. The sufferings is where we liberate.
I've loved Mark Epstein's work since discovering Thoughts Without a Thinker. I'm so happy to see him continue his beautiful work that has been deeply meaningful for me as I've dedicated my life to psychology, parenting, and Zen Buddhism.
Thank you very much. I found this talk moving, orienting and helpful. Lovely tone. And very informative to this lay person. I look forward to a second listen at some point, with slightly different ears.
Yes, his description of many forms of trauma will be helpful for people who have experienced trauma without understanding the complexities of physical and emotional trauma.
I find that too many Buddhist therapists confuse the work of being a therapist with teaching Buddhism, It is a dire mistake as you pointed out. Deep appreciation for your work.
Speaking from the perspective of a self taught, self healer, it's confusing for me to listen to Buddhist Therapists. They never seem to grasp analytical psychotherapy, nor do they seem to understand Buddhism in one form or another. I have not listened to this video introduced by the University of Chicago; I look forward to hearing it.
I respect and utilize both and don't think both worlds can be used by a practitioner. I do however utilize both and they work together very well like the example of eating healthy and going to the gym. It's my path to combine them...just my feelings.
Dear The University of Chicago :), Thank you for taking the time and effort to both upload and share this video with the youtube community. Thank You!
The sound of his voice, the speed he delivers, the way he writes BEAUTIFUL
