Conversation with a Buddhist Travelling Nurse: Ego, Fear, and Love
Manage episode 297441722 series 2924585
Scott Andrews is a travelling nurse and a practising Buddhist for over a decade. Together, we delve deeply into ways of approaching fear, the nuances of using 'will' and bravado versus love and acceptance.
"If you can empower yourself with the ability to feel love... that doesn't consume any energy at all, in fact it generates energy."
We go further extrapolating elements of compassion in approaching fear, namely compassion to a part of the self- and this is where I realise the link with psychotherapy and 'parts' work.
We also unpack concepts involving the ego, intellect, and how wisdom prevails when we allow it to. We literally break down the mental processes involved, to learn or unlearn the approaches towards embracing (not so much confronting) our fears.
