Contemplative Creative Therapy & Embodied Mind Training — Launching December 2025

The intersection of psychology, meditation, and creativity opens a profound path toward healing, meaning, and self-understanding. In December 2025, the book "Contemplative Creative Therapy: Integrating Buddhist Psychology, Meditation, and Embodied Creativity Methods in Clinical Practice" will be released internationally on Amazon, introducing a new, integrative, and holistic framework for the next generation of therapeutic practice.

This book presents Contemplative Creative Therapy (CCT), a holistic, evidence-informed model that unites Buddhist psychology, meditation, somatic awareness, and creative processes. Rooted in both contemplative science and clinical practice, CCT offers a structured approach to support emotional regulation, trauma healing, identity repair, and the cultivation of presence. It provides clinicians and contemplative practitioners with tools to help clients transform suffering through embodied awareness, symbolic expression, and mindful creativity.
