This was a great video about concepts that Eckhart Tolle discusses, which I also find within the teachings of Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Integral Theory, Hermeticism, etc. Eckhart Tolle is great at describing these concepts, and I felt this video does a nice job of summarizing.
We become emotionally anchored to thoughts and this fuses them to our identities. And by proxy, when the ideas get challenged we feel as though we are being challenged, which is why we will live more at peace by learning not to drop these anchors.
These are some of the fundamental concepts that we discuss in the coaching sessions.
