195: Therapeutic Mindfulness with Ruth Fearnow

Your Chakra Coach

In today's episode, I'm joined by therapist, author, and speaker Ruth Fearnow to explore the concept of therapeutic mindfulness. Ruth sheds light on how individuals may unintentionally use mindfulness or meditation to avoid confronting trauma, rather than utilizing them as tools for growth. She eloquently explains the pitfalls of emotional avoidance, emphasizing the potential long-term harm it can inflict on daily choices. Ruth guides us through cultivating non-judgmental focused attention and introduces the power of "allowing phrases" to help us use mindfulness as a means of sitting with, rather than evading, our emotions. Join us for a profound exploration of therapeutic mindfulness and its transformative potential.
