Dr. Kreiss' Approach to Psychology

Dr. Kreiss' approach to psychology is centered around the concept that nature (genetics) and nurture (learning) determine our psychological perceptions of life. These perceptions involve thoughts, emotions, and urges, which can often make life difficult to manage. Working in collaboration with his clients, Dr. Kreiss teaches them how to apply concepts such as impulse control, emotional regulation, thought management, peaceful acceptance of things beyond our control, understanding and forgiving self and others, the management of urges and cravings, and wise decision-making.

Meditate During All Waking Hours

Meditation is an essential tool in Dr. Kreiss' practice. While many people misunderstand meditation as a temporary escape from reality, Dr. Kreiss sees it as an effort to align oneself with reality. Meditation is not about escaping reality but rather about developing an approach to life that can be applied during all waking hours. By training oneself to peacefully witness thoughts, emotions, and urges without attaching to them, one can develop the skill of effective and peaceful management of human perception.

Dr. Kreiss encourages his clients to apply the lessons learned during meditation sessions in their daily lives. This means facing the intensity of life head-on while remaining calm, peaceful, and clear-headed. This approach requires impulse control, courage, bravery, pain tolerance, faith in oneself, and faith that all emotions, thoughts, and urges are temporary and manageable.
