Today we talk with very special guest and fellow Mental Health Practitioner, Lauren Ciovacco about his education at Purdue in Neuropsychology and Naropa University in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology. He and I talk at length about a variety of concepts in Buddhism that help to map Consciousness. Lauren talks about the various paradigm shifts in his mind and perceptions of reality as he transitioned through addiction, violence, and self-deception into scholarship, innovation, compassion, fatherhood, and Truth. We go really deep on this one so buckle up! You may want to listen to it a number of times to get the full detail of the conversation.
