Insight Cafe (Eng) Ep 60 | Letting Go of The Past w/ Dr Dicken Bettinger

Letting Go of the Past | Dr. Dicken Bettinger on Psychological Freedom & Well-Being
In this episode, I’m honored to sit down with Dr. Dicken Bettinger, a former clinical psychologist who has spent decades exploring the nature of psychological well-being. Since discovering the Three Principles in 1986, Dicken has dedicated his life to mentoring, retreats, and sharing this understanding through his book Coming Home: Uncovering the Foundations of Psychological Well-being.
We dive into the powerful truth about letting go of the past and finding psychological freedom, including:
How pure love is always the answer
Why wisdom, compassion, and the state of no-thought are essential to a clear mind
The key to releasing painful memories and seeing them for what they truly are
Where to look for lasting well-being-hint: it's already within you
Dicken’s way of explaining deep truths with clarity and warmth makes this conversation one you won’t want to miss. If you’ve ever struggled with emotional pain, overthinking, or want more peace of mind, this episode will offer a fresh perspective.
Enjoy!

Wow! Glad to have stumbled upon this talk! Its a beautiful thing when helpful and healing messages are brought to mind and heart that reinforce each other.
I was moved to tears hearing the story of the boy and him asking Dr. Bettinger if he could work with his abusive father.
If I could give the gift of a deep connection, healing and such insight to anyone, it would be to the people currently in power.
