What is Contemplative Psychotherapy?
Buddhist legend tells of Prince Siddhartha's quest for enlightenment. He abandoned his palace, faced inner struggles, and achieved enlightenment, inspiring others. Around 400 BCE, he passed away, and Tibetan Buddhist schools later emphasized inherent enlightenment. Chögyam Trungpa coined "Brilliant Sanity," embracing these innate qualities. Contemplative psychotherapy fosters client confidence by recognizing their already-existing wholeness.
