Despite the fact that our lives are among the most privileged in the world, we spend so much time in the grip of boredom, sadness, dissatisfaction, and frustration. And why is it that we are so often consumed with feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, anger, and grief? Even if we had an answer to this question, is there really anything we could really do about it?

The ancient wisdom tradition of Buddhism has a definite answer to this question. It also proposes many techniques by which we can learn to work with and transform our afflictive emotions. Many of these techniques have now been researched and verified by modern clinical psychology and mind science.

More and more, they are regularly being used as clinical tools for the treatment of depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, entrenched grief and loss, and borderline personality disorder. Within a broader unpacking of the basic elements of Buddhist psychology, this seminar will instruct participants in some of these cognitive techniques. In depth instruction in the cultivation of mindfulness, psychological equanimity, and compassion will be highlighted.

Quick FAQ's

  • What Is "Sex Addiction" and Can It Be Treated?

    Sex addictions are commonly considered to be habitual or even compulsive sexual activities that allow people to exit from connected, authentic and healthy life activities.

  • Do all of your doctors offer Buddhist therapy?

    Dr. Parker Wilson is Buddhist minister and retired psychologist, and he can provide advisement based on an extensive understanding and practice of Buddhist psychology and meditative technology. Dr. Wilson is a university professor, doctor of clinical psychology, and a practicing Mahayana Buddhist. He has been highly trained in Buddhist and existential psychology and meditation by some of the greatest living Buddhist masters of our time.

  • Isn't MBCT (Mindfulness) associated with Buddhism?

    The fundamental techniques for developing mindfulness, while rooted in the teachings of Buddhism, are actually more scientific than religious in nature. Buddhist psychology asks one to deeply analyze one's own existential experience. In other words, unlike traditional religious belief systems, Buddhism is not a faith or dogma based system; nor do its practitioners seek special consideration from a higher power, nor do they seek to convert others to their way of thinking. It is, therefore, more akin to a deep philosophy and empirical understanding.

  • What kinds of therapy does AMI offer?

    Primarily AMI offers cognitive psychotherapy; in particular Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which is considered the modern standard of care for many types of depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and anger management issues.

  • How much will my therapy cost?

    The Awakened Mind Institute has very competitive clinical fees; this is especially true given the quality of treatment our doctors offer. Generally speaking, individuals and / or families with a household income between $60,000 and $150,000 (or more) find AMI's clinical fees to be affordable.
