RE-RELEASE: Buddhism Meets Psychotherapy on the Path of Liberation with Bruce Tift

RE-RELEASE: Buddhism Meets Psychotherapy on the Path of Liberation with Bruce Tift

Author: Anna Seewald August 1, 2024 Duration: 1:18:54

Bruce Tift, the author of Already Free, delves into our discomfort with being present with our embodied sensations and explores ways to improve this aspect of our lives. He addresses struggles with anxiety, relationship issues, and more. His insights into closeness and intimacy were particularly engaging. Tift pointed out that many of our issues predate our relationships, suggesting that our partners are neither the cause of our problems nor their solution. He articulated this point with notable clarity.

Additionally, Tift presented the idea of cultivating confidence rather than merely seeking a sense of safety, which he found to be highly intriguing.

Can you see separateness as life-giving?
