Skilful suffering

Something that none of us want to experience, and yet we all do, is suffering. In our western mostly secular society it is easy to see why we see suffering as an affront to our human rights. We all want to live tidy, prosperous, fulfilled lives and can see why we would regard suffering as a threat to that and that it needs to be controlled and managed away as quickly as possible. Some may say, "how can there be a God that allows so much pain?". But suffering is everywhere and every life will have tragic episodes, so how can we deal with our suffering? In this episode I speak to therapist Susan McGrath about skilfully suffering.
