This month’s “Talk of Our Towns” explores the theme “Crossing the Divide With Heartfelt Compassion”. Can we learn new ways of being with each other in today’s world, a world which seems more divided than ever before? How can we cultivate kindness and generosity of spirit in ourselves and in others? Today my guests are Astoria based Internal Family Systems Therapist and Trainer Katelyn Staecker, whose work many of you may already be familiar with AND Katelyn has invited her good friend of 45 years, fellow therapist and Emeritus Clinical Associate Professor at UW-Milwaukee Helen Bader School of Social Welfare & Social Work, Jerry Rousseau, to join us in this conversation today.
