A really good and life affirming talk with much truth and nurturing energy.

Really deep and really helpful in your personal growth path. Highly recommend!

I am so glad I ordered this set. I recommend it often. Thanks.

Bruce is clear, logical and inspiring. This is a useful perspective for any therapist who is open to thinking outside the box.

Bruce Tift skillfully demonstrates how we can face the things we perceive as problems and overcome our tendancy to hang on to feelings and sensations that cause us suffering. He gives us the tools to set ourselves free.

I found lots worth thinking about in here. Tift did a nice job of showing the power of moving back and forth between the everyday psychological insights and deeper insights about the nature of reality, mind and ego.

I love this recording. My husband and I listen together and have a nice discussion after each segment. Very informative and helpful for dealing with a variety of life issues.

As a hypnotherapist who has been working in a very psychspiritual way of late, this was a great way to stitch a few things together. I love how he keeps switching between Buddhist and developmental perspectives, and anchoring it all together in the realm of relationship is only beneficial for everyone.

I bought this download after listening to the podcast interview with Tara SImon, and I'm happy I did. There is a lot of material here, equally insightful and compassionate. It is refreshing to hear a synthesis of Buddhism and Psychoanalytics put to practical terms. I hope we hear more from Bruce Tift in the future and I'd especially like to see something in print!

There is life-changing wisdom in these talks. Bruce's theory of neurotic organization and its expression in self and relationship, and his recommended practices of self-responsibility and embodied experiencing are incredibly fruitful views and approaches. Life can be very uncomfortable, and Bruce helps one see why this discomfort does not have to be such a big deal.

And heartfelt thanks to Bruce Tift and his lineage for sharing this. :-)

This was a most useful program, I am listening for the third time now. Lots to put into personal and professional practice.

I listened to the podcast interview and had to have more. The program was fantastic. It is one that I will go to over and over when my perspective needs an adjustment.

This is such an interesting and profound teaching. There's so much in it every time I hear it. it makes me think about many things in a new way. The whole chapter on anxiety is so helpful and interesting. so is what he says about relationships. I hope to hear more from Bruce Tift!

This is a superb offering. I’ve only listened to less than half of it – after 10 to 15 minutes of it I need to meditate on what was said. This is one of the most insightful teachings I have heard. Hats off to Mr. Tift and Sounds True – I’m less than half through and already know I WANT MORE!

I am not sure what to call this. A lecture, distilled clarity, wisdom in a box...

I have been recommending this to everyone I know who is committed to their path of personal growth.

If you are seeking understanding of yourself and the path to living more fully take a look, you won't regret it.

I've been using Sounds True for a decade and I've probably listened to almost all of the Sounds True interviews.

This is the best I've encountered.

This series with Bruce Tift on Psychotherapy, using Buddhist principles is amazing. It is like two halves of a whole...the blending with one, balancing and explaining the other. A mirror looking into the mirror, sort of thing...only it has such practical value, such useful insights.

Being from the Western, scientific upbringing, and having an undergraduate degree in psychology, I could readily identify with the psychotheraputic model, which is good, but it is lacking.

I very much appreciated this approach and Tift's clarity with very complicated concepts and his ease of manner.

I highly recommend this series.

This set of CDs is perhaps the most valuable distillation of wisdom I have ever encountered. Bruce Tift simply and profoundly presents immediately applicable practices to the thorniest of issues, relationships.

I have not bought the product yet only for budgetary reasons at this time. BUT I heard the interview with Tami Simon and also heart the excerpt here and already am hooked unto the material.
It feels new; it feels liberating and empowering - even though possibly not easy because it seems to be about taking full responsibility for our lives.
I just ordered abunch of stuff from Soundstrue before I heard the interview so i have to wai a bit before venture. But already, I want to recommend the material. It seems helpful, original and new.
Thank you to Bruce Tift.

Great program from Bruce. Very down to heart. Includes shadow work as well. Very organic blends of both approaches, not a forced or theoretical blend. All about being who you are right here right now, not a dis incarnated spiritual superhero born to save the world. Great stuff. Highly recommended.

I was happy to have spent the time listening to this audio, which is saying a lot, as it's over 7 hours.

Bruce is highly intelligent, interesting to listen to, and thought provoking, even though I did not agree with all his opinions.
