Responding to difficult times

Over the years, I’ve mentioned various Buddhist resources for living this human experience, but I don’t think I’ve mentioned Tara Brach. I’ve been listening to Brach’s podcasts for about ten years. She tells corny jokes, but I’ve found her very helpful.

Brach is a PhD clinical psychologist, and I’ve seen her on webinars training psychotherapists. She founded the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, D.C. And she’s the author of four books: “Radical Acceptance,” “True Refuge,” “Radical Compassion” and “Trusting the Gold.” Her website says her podcast is downloaded more than 2.5 million times each month.
