This video follows on from the previous two videos about The Compassionate Friend. However, here, Dr Stan Steindl discusses creating the "ideal compassionate other."

If you would like to write your thoughts and ideas down on the "Creating Your Ideal Compassionate Other" handout mentioned in the video, go to the link below to download the PDF.
