Nearly 1 in 10 people possess some form of personality disorder. Which means there’s a very good chance that you will encounter someone with this disorder at some point in your life, if you haven’t already. They might be your boss, your lover, your parent, your spiritual teacher, or even your presidential candidate. And while many suffer their condition quietly and without any major harm to themselves or the people around them, others can be tremendously dangerous — especially if they have achieved a position of power (and the more severe the disorder, the greater the tendency to seek these powerful positions.)

How can we engage these personalities with care and compassion, while remaining fully attentive to our own safety and personal boundaries? Listen to find out!

The Spectrum of Brokenness: What to Do When You're Dealing With a Personality Disorder

My colleagues Diane Hamilton and Terry Patten are here at my home, preparing for the Integral Living Room gathering which begins tomorrow. They arrived a day early, yesterday (November 8), so we could celebrate Hillary Clinton's victory together. Ha ha! 

Instead we, like millions of people, are trying to come to terms with the victory of Donald Trump. Suddenly we are in a new world dealing with questions like:

-Where are we?
-Why did this happen?
-What do we need to see?
-How might we respond?

Of course nothing is settled, except that we are embarking on a new adventure together -- one that Diane, Terry and I, at least, would never have chosen. We recorded a  conversation of our process to share with you, in case it might help you make sense of things as well.
