Stephan is a licensed psychotherapist as well as a spiritual teacher, and he has been a pioneer in the integration of Eastern wisdom and Western psychology and in the embodiment of awakened awareness in everyday life. We had a wonderful, life-changing chat about many things but the direct approach to mindfulness he teaches is truly a life-changing practice, at least it was for me! We also talk about:
- Finding Zen as his first meditative practice
- The idea of coming home and what it means to Stephan
- What he felt he wasn’t getting from his zen practice and why this led him to get his masters in psychotherapy
- Prescription use for mental health
- Blending Mindfulness and Psychotherapy
- His new book "Beyond Mindfulness: The Direct Approach to Lasting Peace, Happiness, and Love"
- Using the Direct Approach to Mindfulness
- Defining awakening
- The Myth of Striving
