Deepening Mindfulness: Wisdom & Compassion in Psychotherapy - Higher Thought Institute
Session Description
What do we look for in a psychotherapist? When we are in pain, the answer probably isn’t academic
knowledge or training. Rather, we hope that our therapist will be wise—have a deep understanding of how to live life—and compassionate—able to supportively enter into our suffering with us. This presentation will explore how, using mindfulness practices, wisdom and compassion can be cultivated in both the therapist and the client, leading to richer, more fulfilling treatments.

Learning Objectives
Identify the various dimensions of wisdom and compassion and understand how they can be
cultivated in therapeutic relationships.
Describe ways to help clients cultivate wisdom and compassion in their personal and
professional lives.
Identify the role of cultivating wisdom and compassion in creating treatment goals.
