Radical Acceptance

“i read this book on a solo trip a few years ago and it fundamentally changed the way i communicate. this book (and Tara Brach's teachings generally) emphasize pausing – especially in moments of strong feeling – to recognize what's happening for you physically and emotionally and then having the courage to describe that entirely openly to others. i've found that even though that is obviously a very scary and vulnerable thing to do, it has pretty much always led to a really beautiful form of conflict resolution and has helped nurture more peace in my life <3”
