I talked to my dad about CTR a lot this year. It was strange to me at first, because my dad was obviously the one that told me about his teachings the most throughout my life, and suddenly I was the one trying to remind him about things that Trungpa said and wrote, but I think it helped my dad. For instance, whenever he told me that he was feeling fear, I would first talk to him about it, try to get him to "locate" where the fear was coming from, then I would do my best to comfort him, and finally I would read him passages out of the wonderful book 'Smile at Fear'.
