In this enlightening episode of "Conversations with Rich Bennett," sponsored by Harford County Living, Rich engages in a deep and insightful conversation with Ruth Fearnow, a therapist renowned for her innovative approach to mindfulness. Ruth shares her journey from a career in IT to finding her true calling in therapy, driven by a profound sense of purpose. Central to the discussion is Ruth's book, "Therapeutic

Mindfulness: A Healing Skill, Not a Coping Skill." She elaborates on how

her method differs from traditional coping strategies, focusing on healing at

the source rather than merely managing symptoms. Ruth emphasizes the importance

of integrating the body into the healing process, explaining how physical

sensations and emotions are intricately connected. The conversation also delves into Ruth's practical application

of her techniques, with examples from her therapy sessions. She describes her

non-judgmental, story-based approach, which helps clients confront and

transform deep-seated fears and pains. Rich and Ruth discuss the challenges and rewards of virtual

therapy, and Ruth's aspirations to expand her reach through teaching and

possibly TED Talks. Despite her professional success, Ruth highlights the

importance of work-life balance and prioritizing family, underscoring her

belief in holistic well-being.   Here are links for you to bookmark, save, follow, memorize, write down, and share with others: Home | Ruth Fearnow   This episode is sponsored by Harford County Living Go to Dive Into Our Splashy New Giveaway Sponsored by Tar Heel Construction Group!
