When I forget who I am I serve you Through service I remember who I am And I know I am you. (Hindu adage) hat comes to mind when you reflect on the words 'healing spaces'? As a clinical psychologist I think the mind has the potential to be a fertile place for healing. Before I elaborate, let's consider what healing means. Dr. Mount, the founder of McGill Programs in Whole Person Care, wrote, "healing is a shift in our quality of life away from anguish and suffering, toward an experience of integrity, wholeness, and inner peace."[1] A shift. What shifts? Following three decades of working with various paradigms to understand human illness and wellness (e.g., psychosomatic, cognitive-behavioural, health psychology, humanistic, existential, mind-body medicine) the most compelling approach for me has been Buddhist psychology. Why? Because it uses the mind to heal itself and foster healing in others. Buddhist psychology provides methods to unpack how the mind shapes suffering without relying on dogma. In my view, it fits with the mission of the McGill Programs in Whole Person Care.
