Transforming Mental Health: Dr. Rogier Hoenders and Lama Gangchen’s Holistic Approach
In this week’s episode, we talk with Rogier Hoenders, an integrative psychiatrist and head of research and clinical affairs at the Centre for Integrative Psychiatry Lentis in Groningen, the Netherlands. Rogier shares his transformative experiences since meeting Lama Gangchen in 2004, including their global travels, conferences, and retreats that deeply influenced his holistic approach to mental health.
Lama Gangchen taught Rogier the importance of seeing the positive in every situation and being open to the vast wisdom of traditional medicines, healing and spirituality. Lama Gangchen personally mentored Rogier and empowered him to be a voice to bring back the essence of spiritual medicine into the practice of western medicine creating a new paradigm for integrative medicine, wellness and healing.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
The Importance of a Holistic Approach to Medicine and Well-Being: How to integrate diet, exercise, mental health, community, daily habits, meditation, spiritual practices, gratitude, etc. to optimize our health and well-being.
Transforming Therapeutic Relationships: Optimizing the relationship between practitioner and patient, focusing on health, well-being, and resilience.
How to Optimize Self-Care for Healthcare Professionals: The Importance of mindfulness and meditation to prevent burnout and maintain balance and well-being.
Many Thanks to our Guest!
