25.01.2022 This is why the focus of therapies should not be about pathologising people.

24.01.2022 A #mindful moment: You are in charge of your own happiness. Dont look outside yourself for whats already inside of you. The Buddha says, No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

23.01.2022 Wisdom Psychotherapy uses Buddhist Psychotherapy as a framework to integrate the wisdom of Mind and Body. How does it work? - Wisdom Psychotherapy works from the following core principles: - Use of the body as a healing tool: Exploring somatic intelligence as the wisdom of the body to work out solutions to the presented issues. - Focusing on emotions: Emotions are the vehicles to connect body-and-mind. - Self-Compassion: Focusing on cultivation of compassion towards self a...nd others in order to work with issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and self-criticism. - Integration: People often experience inner conflict, which can cause mental health issues. Josh uses a systematic approach which integrates the conflicting inner parts helping clients to feel more balanced. - Non-judgemental: Non-pathologising. Rather than focusing on symptoms, Josh explores the presented issues as resources which seemed to be problematic to you.

18.01.2022 Inner-truth "Do not go by what you hear, Nor by tradition, Nor by popular opinion,... Nor because it is written, Nor by what seems logical, Nor by what can be deduced, Nor by appearances, Nor because it matches your views, Nor because it seems plausible, Nor out of respect for your teacher. But when you know in yourself that something is true, right and admirable, and leads to well-being and happiness, then live by it." Buddhist Teaching https://posts.gle/cDAkP

17.01.2022 "Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering. When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you will come to realise how unnecessary it was for you to drag those burdens around with you. You will see that no one else other than you was responsible. The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival." Osho https://posts.gle/TwgdG

09.01.2022 Wisdom Psychotherapy uses EMDR for Trauma Processing and Inner Resource Development: The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) as a front-line treatment for trauma and distress caused by traumatic memories. EMDR is a body-focused psychotherapeutic technique using bilateral stimulations, including eye-movement, sounds, and tactile sensation. Josh uses EMDR, beyond re-processing traumatic memories, to help clients... develop the inner resource, repair attachment issues, as well as work with anxiety, depression and chronic pain. This video shows how EMDR works with traumatic memories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKrfH43srg8

09.01.2022 "When we listen deeply to another person, we not only recognise their wrong perceptions, but we also identify our wrong perceptions about ourselves and about the other person. That is why mindful dialogue and mindful communication are crucial to removing anger and violence." Thich Nhat Hanh https://posts.gle/WQaYc

08.01.2022 Gratitude to my Procrastinator: To my dear Procrastinator. Thank you for helping me relax before facing the big mountain. Thank you for saving me from failure since I was a child.... Because of your protection, I survived. Now I have grown up and mastered learning from mistakes. Sit back now my Procrastinator, and let me work on what I have to do in life.

04.01.2022 What is Buddhist Psychotherapy? Buddhist Psychotherapy is trauma-informed, holistic and experiential psychotherapy underpinned by Buddhist Psychology and ethics. Just like Mindfulness, which also originated from Buddhism, Buddhist Psychotherapy does not impose any religious teaching on therapists nor clients. Buddhist Psychotherapy works with many issues, including:... Depression Anxiety, phobia and panic attack Trauma Grief and loss Stress Life transition and adjustment Addictive behaviours Relationship difficulties Chronic physical conditions. While Western Psychology focuses more on pathology, Buddhist Psychology has the following focuses to alleviate mental and physical suffering: Inner Wisdom: Connecting and cultivating our inner resources, such as compassion and innate wisdom. Attachment: Stable relationships with self and others help us maintain balance in mental and physical health, as well as regulate emotions. Relationship with Self: Increased sense of inner connectedness can help us hold ourselves better particularly in distressing situations, which promotes mental peacefulness . Body-Mind as a unity: A strong focus on body-mind connection promotes integration of self. Unconscious mind: The unconscious mind determines our perspective of life experiences. Accessing the unconscious mind can help us access our inner truth. Buddhist Psychotherapy is a psychotherapeutic platform, which can combine Buddhist Philosophy and Western evidence-based clinical approaches.
