What Is In The Course?
This course will provide an understanding of the self-healing process to regain and maintain emotional health. A growing number of modern-day psychotherapists are incorporating Buddhist Psychology into their techniques, practice and lives. We will examine the reasons for this.
This course is based on Buddhist psychology found in early Buddhism and meditation methods. It will cover the mind-body framework; the nature of blocked emotions; origin of sexuality; emotions and emotional self-defence, mindfulness, problems of religious cults and essential interpersonal skills to succeed in life.
A wide range of background readings and notes on Early Buddhist Suttas on mind-healing will be provided. This is the first course of its kind in the region.
