Contemplative Psychotherapy
Contemplative psychotherapy is the blending of Western psychotherapy with Buddhist awareness practices.
From this perspective, our ability to be present with whatever arises in the moment is the foundation for meaningful psychotherapy.
Our actual experience is the doorway to self-acceptance and authentic change. It is my belief that our basic nature
is intrinsically healthy but our awareness of this health is often obscured. Contemplative psychotherapy is a process
of uncovering this fully awake and aware state. We can become liberated from unnecessary suffering through experiencing
ourselves in the moment, exactly as we are. Examples of contemplative practice include breathing exercises, meditation,
mindful walking, yoga, guided imagery, journaling and other artistic practices.
