Buddha’s Deep Psychology (Being Fearless in a Fearful World – Part 2 of 3) - a podcast by Venerable Robina Courtin

“Know your own mind,” sums up the Buddhist view. Consider the Buddha’s view that the mind is the root cause for both pleasant and unpleasant emotions. We might not be able to change difficult external things, but we can change how we internally process things in the present. Rather than blame the outside world for our troubles, look at what we can change. That’s the Buddha’s cognitive therapy.
