​COMPASSION

Seeing beyond others’ angry or reactive parts and recognizing the fear or pain behind them. Feeling tender caring for a part or another person who is suffering and a desire to help without being overwhelmed by their pain. 




Optional Pain Science Review
Dr. John Stracks reminds us that mindbody medicine requires that we accept that our symptoms are not the enemy. Instead, when we have compassion for ourselves and get curious about the symptoms, we see they present to try to protect or distract us out of fear.
