This is the second in the 4-part series on "Love, Compassion & Co-Dependence."
Shamanic Practitioner and teacher Dory Cote addresses questions, including:
• Can you begin, Dory, by speaking about “what is compassion”? In particular, how can compassion be possible in the face of dealing with an abusive person, a difficult family member, or challenges with people at work who push all your buttons? How can people best find compassion in these situations? [0:40]
• So the psychologist Alfred Adler talks about empathy as strengthening, and sympathy as weakening. What you are talking about here, to a degree in this compassion, sounds like empathy, stepping into their shoes in a way. Is that true? [8:04] • If a person cannot find compassion in their heart for a specific person or group of persons, what can they do to find it or foster it? [0:00]
• How can a peace-loving person find compassion for the terrorists in our present and turbulent times? [9:47]
• This completes our prepared questions. Do you have anything to add at this time? [14:12] Previous episodes in this series: DCoS #37: Defining Love Upcoming episodes in this series DCoS #39: How to Express Compassion in Troubling Times: Part 2 DCoS #40: When Love & Compassion become Co-Dependence
