What Is Compassion?

May 8, 2009

I want to add a slight twist after the last couple of posts.  In the last post on compassion and depression, I gave my idea of a compassionate response to depression.  However as I have pondered on the subject I have begun to think that maybe I’ve been missing something.  And I think I might [...]

Why Compassion And Depression Don’t Mix

April 27, 2009

I’m the first to admit that I’m not the most empathic person.  And I understand that there is a place for empathy and compassion.  In one sense, I’m very compassionate.  I care very much that everyone I come into contact with, gets the most from their life.

You Can’t Quit

January 16, 2009

Recently talking about stress management training I made the point that it doesn’t matter how hard it seems, you can’t live a happy life without taking the time to develop your ability to deal with stress.  You just don’t have the choice. Today something has inspired me to revisit that topic, but to emphasis it [...]

Stress Management Training

December 17, 2008

After the last couple of week’s posts, I feel a little like I’m going through a Freudian Analysis.  Whilst I was writing about how I learned to cope with stress there were 5 points that jumped out at me that would be essential for someone wanting to be able to process events quickly and with [...]

September 3, 2008

The last post was really inspired by a comment. I wrote a post to reply, but it was too muddled and disjointed and so I broke it up. But I did want to respond to the comment so I’ll do that in this post.
