The Power of Persistence and Compassion to Do What It Takes With Dalya Sarkees
What is it like to be a child of war? How can we transform suffering with the power of compassion? In this episode, ACT psychologist Diana Hill interviews social worker and war refugee Dalya Sarkees about her experience growing up in 3 Iraqi wars, the trauma of finding a new identity in the US, and the inner and ancestral resources she leaned on to make the impossible possible. Many of us feel powerless over the world’s wars that are happening right now, one place to start is to listen to the voices of those who have suffered and who are suffering. It’s through listening that we can contact what is painful, and be motivated to act with compassion.

You’ll learn how to put your energy into places that matter most to you while making a difference in the world.This show is for you because:- You are a high achiever who knows how to get things done, but you're getting burned out by overfilling your plate with stuff that doesn't matter to you. - You want to put your energy in places that feed you. You have a lot of heart to give, but the way you are giving isn’t sustainable. - You are interested in more holistic ways of living but don't want just another wellness checklist that will make you feel bad when you don't complete it.- You care about the factors that impact your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. - You are interested in science but not so rigidly attached to research to explore the edges of the mystery of spirituality and contemplative practice. - You’re open-minded and have a beginner's mind. - Most importantly, you believe deep down inside that there's a better way to do this, and you are ready to put some of your wisdom into practice. We don’t have to burn ourselves out or engage in things that are not worth it. We can put our energy where it matters most and savor the good along the way.
