My interview with Mark Setton – Episode 17, Part 2 – Hope, Strength & Courage Podcast
“The most effective emotions, according to the research of feeling gratitude, about the past, things that we are grateful for on a daily basis. Appreciating what is happening in the present, being involved in the present is very important, too, and then feeling hope for the future – finding something about the future, you know, that we can feel hope for.” ~ Dr Mark Setton

Best advice from Mark Setton:
- I think the Dalai Lama once said, the more we go through suffering, the bigger our hearts become, the more compassionate.
- Give them the time to talk about, as much as possible, about how they feel. Some children are probably less prone to talking than others. Some of us can be introverts, in which case, flow activity.
- I would say that, for people who were going through a traumatic experience, mindfulness is, can be very effective.
