Immigration lawyers navigate relentless stress, uncertainty, and emotional intensity. In this virtual roundtable, author and mindfulness teacher Ralph De La Rosa draws from their book, Outshining Trauma, to explore why common approaches to emotional intelligence often fall short in high-pressure moments. Through practical tools and real-world insights, they'll share how mindfulness can help manage being overwhelmed, foster resilience, and create space for both inner well-being and effective advocacy.
