(Show)
After September 11, therapists were faced with having to support patients while maintaining presence and calm amidst the aftermath of the tragedy. The author looks to Buddhist practices aimed at settling the mind and cultivating the capacity to attend openly and with care as a way to create a supportive therapeutic presence.
