Zen and Psychotherapy with Robert Waldinger, MD

The Mind, Body and Soul in Healing

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 2, 2021 45:38


"It's not a good meditation when you are having fewer thoughts, it is not a bad meditation when you are having more thoughts or wilder thoughts. Really what Zen talks about is the limitation of just focusing on thoughts.  Most of the time we are lost in our thoughts - we focus exclusively on our thoughts with much less attention to sensations, to perceptions of the world."    Episode Description: Dr. Waldinger is a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst and a Zen teacher and priest. We begin by distinguishing between an Eastern and Western way of approaching the mind. Dr. Waldinger describes his journey of becoming both a Zen Priest and a Zen instructor and the differing tasks involved with each. He compares his psychodynamic approach with his Zen approach to individuals who are suffering. He explains the Buddhist approach to thoughts, sensations and worries with particular reference to the relationship between a Zen teacher and student. We close by reviewing his personal path that has led him to be attuned to the transience of life.    Our Guest: Robert Waldinger, MD is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, Zen priest, and Zen teacher. He is a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and directs the Harvard Study of Adult Development, one of the longest-running studies of adult life ever done. The Study tracked the lives of 724 men for over 80 years and now studies their Baby Boomer children to understand how childhood experience reaches across decades to affect health and wellbeing in middle age. He writes about what science can teach us about healthy human development, and he is the Founding Director of the Lifespan Research Foundation, dedicated to bringing the insights of lifespan research to the general public. His TED talk about this research, titled “What Makes a Good Life?”, is one of the 10 most viewed TED talks of all time. Dr. Waldinger directs the teaching program in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Residency in Boston.    Recommended Readings:  John Daishin Buksbazen, Zen Meditation in Plain English  Kosho Uchiyama, Opening the Hand of Thought: Foundations of Zen Buddhist Practice  Barry Magid, Ending the Pursuit of Happiness: A Zen Guide  Jeremy Safran, Psychoanalysis and Buddhism: An Unfolding Dialogue  Norman Fischer and Susan Moon, What Is Zen?: Plain Talk for a Beginner's Mind    Episode 19: A Psychoanalyst Studies the Good Life- The Harvard Study of Adult Development  http://ipaoffthecouch.org/2019/09/21/episode-19-a-psychoanalyst-studies-the-good-life-the-harvard-study-of-adult-development/

In this conversation with Gordon Marvin we talk about a landslide that ripped through his community, Stump Acres, near Umpqua Oregon in 1996. It came out of a 9-year-old clearcut above their property, and killed 4 people, including Gordon’s wife, Sharon Marvin, and his two friends Rick and Susan Moon. I was unsuccessful in getting someone from the Oregon Department of Forestry to talk to us about how logging rules changed as a result of this slide, to now include a (small) public safety component.Gordon and I cover some additional private-land logging issues, including aerial spray rules. Public notice for aerial spraying has recently been strengthened. You can read about that here: https://www.wildsalmoncenter.org/2020/02/10/what-is-the-new-oregon-timber-pact/?emci=b3c4dbbc-fcb7-ea11-9b05-00155d039e74&emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&ceid=or listen to an interview with Ralph Bloomers who talks about it on this show earlier this year. We also talk about the FERNS reporting system, where the public can sign up to receive all logging notices in places important to them, such as their home.FERNS can be accessed here. https://ferns.odf.oregon.gov/E-Notification/
