219 | Buddha’s Story | Transcend Sufferi...

BRAD ROBINSON: ANXIETY SPECIALIST, CBT COACH, AND NLP MASTER PRACTITIONER
About this episode

On this episode, I talk about The Buddha and how suffering became his teacher. This is powerful because so many of us live out this exact story. We grow up in a. protective bubble and then as we get older we experience tragedy. This shocks us, and can lock us in traumatic stress disorder. How can we transcend this suffering and find inner peace? This is a must listen!
