Send us a Text Message.

Together, we peel back the layers of misconception that obscure the true nature of suffering, delving into the Buddhist concept of 'dukkha'—a term that signifies the complex interplay of internal and external forces in our lives. Our conversation may shift your perspective on suffering, transforming it from a mere obstacle to a catalyst for mindfulness and wise decision-making.
This episode is a journey through the heart of personal growth and self-compassion, where we distinguish between the necessary pains that foster development and the harmful ones that we must learn to avoid. Zaw's insights guide us through the intricacies of life and the process of embracing discomfort as a sign of progress. Discover how different therapy modalities like acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can help you navigate physical and emotional pain with grace, committing to a life aligned with your deepest values. Tune in for an enriching experience that offers not just understanding, but a roadmap for resilience in the face of life's challenges.
