Loving Kindness Meditation for Overcontrolled Individuals

Loving Kindness Meditation (LKM) was originally developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD for Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a psychotherapy for under-controlled individuals. Dr. Thomas Lynch adapted this meditation for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT), a psychotherapy for individuals that are over-controlled.

Psychotherapist Brian Pelletier, LPC, NCC has taken this script and made some minor adjustments to create this video. The purpose of this video is to provide a ready-made meditation recording for clients who are on-the-go.

Daily LKM practice can help you feel social connectedness which will enhance your social engagement.
