A Whole-Hearted Embrace, Finding Love at the Center of It All

In A Whole-Hearted Embrace, Finding Love at the Center of It All, psychologist Patrick Dougherty shares the remarkable story of his experiences of tragedy and loss, healing and grace. Although trauma, death, and the burden of survival were a strong part of his life from early childhood, he also experienced "the light" in his heart. Through despair and deep longing for inspiration, he followed that light and found profound blessings, first in the Christian faith, then in Native American beliefs, and finally in Taoist meditation. In these three spiritual traditions, he not only found relief from his burdens and the answers to his questions, but also was shown that the limitless capacity to give and receive love that is in your heart is far bigger than any burden you carry or any tragedy you may have experienced.
