Easy to See Others' Problems, Self-knowledge takes Training

     Most people know that those who behave very aggressively ("tough guys") are armored due to a lot of personal pain issues - ie are overcompensating for a lot of unresolved fear & pain. On the other hand, people who are usually even-tempered, kind & considerate, are likely to be more emotionally balanced and healthy.
     So we health-care providers know this conceptually, like we know a lot of stuff "in our heads", but actually living this is ... different. Most of us have no practical training in connecting with our own values & embodying, living these vital guiding principles. Yet there is a widely available, evidence-based, easily approachable method for doing precisely this: mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). And there are 8-week workshops near you.
