Getting Unstuck - Pema Chodron

We all know what it’s like to be triggered, or “hooked”—to have said something we wish we hadn’t, or reacted in a way that wasn’t helpful. What if there was a way to interrupt our knee-jerk responses and make a different choice? These are the Tibetan teachings of shenpa, as taught by bestselling author and American Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön. With the Getting Unstuck app, join this beloved teacher as she shares the liberating wisdom of an approach to getting unhooked, along with tools for putting it to work in your own life.
