Flourishing Through Compassion

Compassion is a reality, but at different levels. If we apply some of Aristotle's theory of reality to compassion, then we start to understand actual and potential compassion. Let's dive into what this might all mean, with some practical tips to integrate notions of actual and potential compassion into your life...with a pinch of compassion focused therapy theory mixed in.

Humans Suck: And That's Why We Need to Practice Compassion and Self-Compassion!

I have been trying out other podcasts lately, just to get a range of inputs into my thinking, and recently listened to Chris Williamson’s Modern Wisdom podcast, Episode #723 — 15 Lessons from 2023. 

In that episode, he described how pleased he was to have come up with the concept “toxic compassion”. According to Williamson, “Toxic compassion is the prioritisation of short term emotional comfort over everything else, over truth, reality, actual long term outcomes, flourishing, everything. It optimises for looking good, rather than doing good.”

Today, we're going to delve into the role emotions play in compassion and their profound impact on compassionate decision making and action. There is an intricate and delicate dance between our feelings and the choices we make. And sometimes, believe it or not, our apparent compassion can do more harm than good. But there’s a lot of nuance to this, so, let’s get started!

Response to Chris Williamson's "toxic compassion" and the role of emotions in compassionate action.

Lately I have been receiving some comments on my videos and shorts from people concerned that there is, in fact, too much compassion in the world. Today, we will be trying to answer the question: can we have too much compassion? It's an intriguing thought, and we'll be exploring it through the lens of Compassion Focused Therapy. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
