80. A Conversation with Ralph De La Rosa - Shared in Loving Memory

Written By Tom Parkes

Today’s episode features Ralph De La Rosa. Ralph was the author of three books, including Outshining Trauma: A New Vision of Radical Compassion (foreword by Richard Schwartz). He was a psychotherapist in private practice and a longtime meditation teacher known for his radically honest and humorous approach. His work was featured in GQ, CNN, NY Post, Tricycle, Mindful Magazine, and beyond.

Some of the topics we covered in this episode include:

  • A beginning guided meditation

  • What drew Ralph to IFS

  • Overlaps with ACT and IFS

  • The value of living with an open heart

  • And Ralph guides me through some experiential IFS work
