#119 Being True to Yourself Around Difficult People

Text me your feedback.

The busy holiday season is here, and that means lots of demands on our time and attention. It also means navigating tricky family gatherings with difficult people. 

A common question this time of year is whether or not to engage your trollish Uncle Jerry or stand down to keep the peace. 

This episode is all about how to tap into what will feel true and authentic to you, so you can walk this line confidently and on your own terms.

In this episode you'll find:

• Perspectives on authenticity and values from psychology
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Work strategies for solving your interpersonal dilemmas 
• Guidance from Buddhism and The Yoga Sutras
