How Dharma Practice is and is Not a Psychotherapy
IMS Online Mini Retreat
9:30 am - 4:00 pm ET
In what ways does dharma practice function as a kind of ‘self-psychotherapy’? In what ways is dharma entirely unlike psychotherapy? During our day together, we’ll explore how the dharma path overlaps with the healing we might find in psychotherapy: it supports self-understanding, uncovers behavioral patterns and transforms how we relate to our past. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, dharma practice relies on states of concentration, letting go, and surrender that point to cultivations beyond typical psychotherapeutic aims.
