Repressed memories, painful emotions, narcissism and destructive energies can all be uprooted through Buddha's teaching on suffering, delusion, wisdom and non-attachment. Epstein argues that in recognizing his or her self-created mental suffering, a patient can overcome neurotic behaviors and even overcome a deeply ingrained negative sense of self. 2499475 1995 Thoughts Without a Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective total:236|5:85|4:101|3:39|2:9|1:2| 236 966 430 27 5 1 false false Thu May 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 12:51:31 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 15:44:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Apr 24 15:01:38 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 04 07:06:19 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 19 11:46:40 -0800 2007 Thu Jan 10 04:55:12 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 28 20:01:51 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 20:03:46 -0700 2009
