Notes from a Psychologist
Three short pieces on mindfulness, grief and self-control, from a clinical psychologist.
- IWhy Mindfulness? A Psychologist’s Perspective
A clinical psychologist on how easily a thought becomes something we obey, and how mindfulness gives us a little room to choose what to do next.
- IIWhy Is Grief Painful, and How Can Mindfulness Help?
Why grief hurts, and why mindfulness, held gently, can help us meet it with a little less self-criticism rather than make it disappear.
- IIIHow Do You Control Yourself Before You Conquer the World?
Self-control begins with curiosity about what is driving us, long before we try to conquer anything in the world.
