What I Wish My Therapist Told Me | A Buddhist Monk's Reflection
Many years ago before becoming a Buddhist monk in Thailand, I had the opportunity to meet with a CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) therapist to deal with the feeling of being socially awkward. This video recounts my time with my therapist and looking back now, this is what I wish my therapist would have told me. For anyone who is going through a difficult time or struggling in some way, I hope my experience and insight can provide you with another way of looking at your situation. Now as a Buddhist monk, I wanted to share my reflection in this current moment. I hope you enjoy. #monk #monks #mentalhealth
