Stack Overflow when AutoMapper project a circular reference object

Question

I have the folowing class and its dto:

public class Node
{
    public int NodeId { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Node> ChildrenNode { get; set; }

    public virtual Node ParentNode { get; set; }
}

public class NodeDto
{
    public int NodeId { get; set; }
    public ICollection<NodeDto> ChildrenNode { get; set; }

    public NodeDto ParentNode { get; set; }
}

And my mapper is just simple:

Mapper.CreateMap<Node, NodeDto>();

When I call ProjectTo from an IQueryable, I get a StackOverflowException. I already tried Mapper.CreateMap<Node, NodeDto>().MaxDepth(3) and Mapper.CreateMap<Node, NodeDto>().PreserveReferences() and none of these worked.

What can I do to mantain self reference?

If it'll be of any help, I need to access ParentNode and ChildrenNode from any depht, but inside a ParentNode I don't need a ChildrenNode. Something like this: node.ParentNode and node.ChildrenNode[0].ChildrenNode, but no need for node.ParentNode.ChildrenNode;
