Thank you Peter, for being vulnerable in your self disclosures, and Anne, for great summarization skills! I’ve really enjoyed this!

Thank you Peter, i enjoy his talk found him interesting and easy to listen to . Very down to earth. Loved that he shared his journal i do something similar but will now step it up a notch to track my four pillars of well being and so i can clearly see where i need to take action.

Peter’s ideas will help my work which is usually based on my research entitled: “Lives unseen: unacknowledged trauma of non-disordered, competent Adult Children Of Parents with a Severe Mental Illness”. This work led me to being invited to write brief articles on trauma and grief for mental health practitioners which I then offer for free to the general public. For those interested, just Google my name (Suzette Misrachi). I’m really enjoying this summit. Thanks to all the organisers for their generosity and to all those who very kindly presented this gift to us all.

Hi there! My name is Suzette Misrachi and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I love this series. Peter has given me so many wonderful ideas. I try to practice mindfulness, compassion and everything in between in my clinical work with people who grew up with parents with a serious mental illness. I also try to teach them some of the skills that have been taught here. My work is often based on my research entitled: “Lives unseen: unacknowledged trauma of non-disordered, competent Adult Children Of Parents with a Severe Mental Illness”. This work led me to being invited to write brief articles on trauma and grief for mental health practitioners which I then offer for free to the general public. For those interested, just Google my name. I’m really enjoying this summit. It brings me closer to the outside world, now as I am self-quarantining due to the current Coroner virus emergency. Each presenter in this summit has a unique and lovely way of connecting despite having just a boring computer at that! It feels like we’ve known you all for years… Thanks to all the organisers for their generosity and to all those who very kindly presented this gift to us all. May you, and may we all across the world, remain safe and healthy, with love.

Thank you Peter for sharing your journal. I enjoyed the presentation and meditation.
jon March 20, 2020 at 6:55 pm

Thank you. I liked the idea of well-being as a skill that can be developed. Motivation then becomes the key. Do I want to develop well-being enough to put in the time and effort to do it? If I say no to that, then the question becomes why? What do I hope to accomplish, or who do I hope to be, that is more important?Is it just laziness and, if so, what is appealing about laziness? A lot to think about. Thanks again.

Such a funny, humane and knowledgeable talk… really thank you!
Jennifer March 20, 2020 at 5:42 pm

I found some insightful comments that I can use with my (newly) online college English classes in the next few weeks. Just asking, How are you today? What are your emotions? might be a good way to start a discussion board topic.
Esperanza Suarez March 20, 2020 at 2:48 pm

Thank you Peter, so generous and honest, wonderful way to share mindfulness practice that makes it quite practical.
Marilyn Bradley March 20, 2020 at 1:04 pm

I’ve learned so much from this talk. Very grateful, thank you!
Vivian March 20, 2020 at 11:21 am

For years I’ve scoffed at the idea of journaling. It seems that it is quite a valuable practice.
Lisa March 20, 2020 at 7:25 am

Thanks for sharing your journal! I will certainly be incorporating some of your tips into my journal time.
Jenn Stull Yost March 20, 2020 at 6:13 am

Wonderful way to begin my day. I am grateful for your time and value the insights you have shared. I have passed your App information along to my colleagues and students, it could not come at a better time.
Lisa March 20, 2020 at 12:40 am

I loved this presentation. Peter is so genuine and natural in the way he presents, it makes the content very easy to listen to absorb and adds a lot of meaning. I have now downloaded the Healthy Minds Program and can’t wait to start using it to develop my awareness, connection, insight and purpose. Thank you Peter.

  Thank you Peter Weng. This was very insightful. There are things that I can put into practice. Thank you once again.

i think a person is in a setuation of well-being if:
– can achieve significant goals for him/herself;
– is able to mobilize and develop resources;
– can interact on a social level, having good interpersonal relationships.
