The conception of psychotherapy as contemplative conversation is presented. As preliminary request training in Conscious Attention is required, a 30 session model of how to do it is offered, the EAC/ULL. The ontological nature of conversation in human life is explored and tools are offered to reach out for its depth and amplitude. To address the topic of contemplation, neuroscientific research is reviewed. Likewise, practical implications for the therapeutic sessions are derived from this approach.
