About this episode

This episode discusses developing healthy boundaries and compassion for difficult people, particularly in the context of hostile parental relationships.

"Loving Without Losing Yourself" is a Dharma talk and very brief guided meditation on the topic suggested by a community member of how to deal with a parent who is extremely hostile toward you. But in a broader way it's just about how to develop healthy boundaries and hold them, and how to find compassion for difficult people. I hope you'll find some fit in your own life for this one if you need it. Enjoy! https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com
