By Rich Simon It seems astonishing that even just two or three decades ago, parents not only pretty much knew what was expected of them to turn their offspring into civilized adults, but they could actually count on society to back them up. Even more astounding, kids seemed to understand this, too. Even if they rebelled against, yelled about, or sullenly resented how “unfair” adults were, they seemed to acknowledge adult authority and realize that they would just have to wait until they turned 18 to get for themselves the keys to the kingdom of grown-up independence.

this was really interesting an interesting session, enyoyed listening about hispnosis and dissociation, with an ultimate meaning behind it as - we individual who actually make those experience real and not these techniques. Such a powerful our imagination and cognitive abilities are. Three cheers for born as human being.
I actually missed watching 3rd Mindfulness and 2nd Diets and Demons session because of busy schedule this month. Anyways not a problem. Take care.

I also believe that mindfulness not only involves visualizations & suggestions during visualizations, but also involves important teachings about how to attend to experiences that enhance & can be well integrated into the therapeutic process that goes beyond Michael's discussion of what mindfulness is all about. While I am a very spiritual person, I find Marsha Linehan's approach to mindfulness very helpful and often more acceptable to clients who are not interested in approach based in a spiritual language.
