#174 - Mastering Taboo Thoughts & Anxiety: Buddhist Psychology Insights
In this episode, I meet with Naomi Matlow, an OCD advocate, musical theater lyricist, writer, and educator who studies Mindfulness. We talk about Buddhism's Four Noble Truths as they relate to the anxiety and OCD cycle. We also discuss..
How to mindfully handle difficult concepts like taboo thoughts, uncertainty, and perceived inability to cope with uncomfortable emotions
How thinking is the sixth sense door of experience in Buddhist psychology (seeing, smelling, touching, tasting, hearing, thinking) and how this connects with active minds and intrusive thoughts
How Jeffrey M. Schwartz’s 1996 book, Brain Lock: Free Yourself from Obsessive Compulsive Behavior, would not exist without Buddhist wisdom and the path of freedom laid out by the Buddha
The Buddhist concept of the "self" and "non-self," and how they are helpful concepts in loosening the grip around cognitive fusion.
Naomi Matlow is a musical theatre lyricist, writer, and educator. Her songs have been performed at venues such as 54 Below, The Great Hall at Cooper Union, Goodspeed Opera House, the Polyphone Festival at University of the Arts and at the IOCDF Conference. She recently completed her MA in Mindfulness Studies at Lesley University and leads a monthly Dharma Club at Soft Landing Space in Ventura, California. BA: University of Toronto, MFA: NYU Tisch’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program. www.naomimatlow.com
