Episode 428: Mark Epstein, MD. Buddhism, Psychotherapy and Trauma
The Trauma Therapist - A podcast by Guy Macpherson, PhD
Today it's about one of the subjects that has always intrigued me on its own--buddhism--but also intrigued me within the context of therapy, and more specifically, trauma. Mark Epstein, M.D. is my guest today. Mark is a psychiatrist in private practice in New York City and the author of a number of books about the interface of Buddhism and psychotherapy.
