This article provides a personal reflection on my Buddhist path as a clinical psychologist to illustrate my actual practice, my internal processes, and the benefits of Buddhist practice to my personal and professional life. My practice is primarily based upon the Satipatṭhāna Sutta, a canonical text for Buddhist meditation as a means for sitting meditation and daily introspection and reflection. Using my professional experiences as the context, I describe how I have used my Buddhist practice to notice and understand my anxiety, thereby deliberatively making choices that result in less suffering for myself. Summarising these experiences, I also delineate several recommendations for mental health professionals who are interested in applying Buddhist teachings to themselves and their clients.
