18: Forgiveness, Spirituality, Resentment, and Compassion for Therapists with Ira Israel, Psychotherapist & Author

Ira Israel is the author of "Wired & Tired," as well as "How To Survive Your Childhood Now That You're an Adult," which is endorsed by Sting, Reverend Michael Beckwith, Marianne Williamson, Jack Kornfield, and many more. He teaches sold-out workshops at Esalen and Kripalu and has written over 400 articles on psychology, philosophy, Buddhism, yoga, film, art, music and literature. In this episode, Ira shares his story of the traumatic car accident that led to his journey into philosophy, spirituality and psychology, with stops in France and Thailand. We explore forgiveness, how to release resentment and how to let go of those "woulda-shoulda-coulda" thoughts. And mostly, we talk about how to be authentic, compassionate and form meaningful connections. We even talk about the art of dinner parties! This episode is sure to inspire you, make you laugh and make you think.  Connect with Ira: www.IraIsrael.com https://www.tiktok.com/@iraisraelofficial https://www.instagram.com/iraisraelofficial https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyGKv2nnCNNG3kCJ9Cd3xVg https://www.facebook.com/ira.israel.5 https://www.linkedin.com/in/ira-israel-449364/  Join the Heart-Centered Therapist Community FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/478651669638167    Connect with Sindee on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartcenteredtherapist/    Shop Mental Health Threads: https://mentalhealththreads.com/
