Relational Tonglen - Creating space for hard conversations with Susan Gillis Chapman

#008 After 3 months of Covid lockdown many people are confronting conflict and challenges in close relationships,  When it is at home or work a breakdown in communication can sometimes feel like living inside a pressure cooker that is about to blow.  Strong emotions quickly take over and it easy to turn someone we care deeply about into an object of anger or even hate.  How do we stay connected to our vulnerability and express our needs when emotions are running high?  Tonglen is an ancient Buddhist practice for opening the heart and working with suffering, others and our own.  In this episode we will talk with Susan Gillis Chapman, author and Buddhist teacher about this powerful practice and creating a safe space for difficult conversations.Follow Awake In Relationship on Instagram and TwitterIf you have been loving what you are hearing on AIR  please rate, review and subscribe to get the latest content fresh to your device.  Sign up for our newsletter at awakeinrelationship.com to learn about upcoming programs and events.Do you have suggestions for guests or feedback on the show?  Send us an email at [email protected] or better yet, fill out a brief audience survey  Thanks for listening, stay connected!
