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.
