Article Check - The Healing Arts - The Problem With Compassion
When we are children we tend to dream about what we will do as adults. The many careers that we select are ones like police officers, school teachers, doctors, astronauts, cowboys and movie stars. We tend to aspire to be what we see. While these tend to be childhood dreams that some of us follow, others will go into totally different directions. I am sure that very few of you ever dreamed of having a calling in psychology. Most of us as children probably never really understo
Time after time, we are told, “You can’t do your job if you make it personal.” Compassion is nothing if not personal. It puts you who are right now into the experience of the person to whom you are relating. Within the context of the human experience the perceived, h
My dear young generation friends,You are going to hear a speech of an extraordinary nature. True. I am not boosting. The principles are some thing special, tested, proven real and coexistent naturally in our life and business.Shut the ears: I do not mind in asking you to shut your ears to the outside world for the time being. Be selective to hear only my voice. I assure you that I am going to teach you only the truth.
Compassion, as defined by The Free Dictionary is “Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.” The “Deep awareness” part is the part where, in the midst of doing the work of treating our patient we feel their pain. To be compassionate means, “to share the suffering of others.”
Paradoxically, though many disciplines acknowledge the value of compassion, when it comes down to the nuts and bolts of relating to our charges, we are warned away from becoming “emotionally involved.” You cannot share the suffering of others without sharing an emotional link with them.
The dominant paradigm of our current-day medical system is geared toward the discouragement of compassion rather than its utilization as a tool of healing. This is not limited to allopathic medicine. It surfaces in whatever modality is taught Western-style, which is a head-oriented, facts and figures, symptoms and treatment, problem-to-be-solved approach of relating to a person and his or her dis-ease.

Case studies can be an effective B2B promotional tool especially when your products and services are intangible, expensive, highly technical or provide benefits that are not instantaneously derived upon purchase. Supporting marketing collateral that tells the stories of other customers’ experiences with what you are selling are often useful to share with prospects during the sales process. Case studies can be a powerful means to promote the benefits of a product or service li

Watch out for your viperous MLM upline! They can get you good.You need to make it a point to know who your upline is. I just spoke with a lady last night on a 3-way phone call. She was the first woman in this network marketing company who built so quickly that she went to the top of the payplan in 4 months.Her upline was envious and jealous. And part of her network marketing strategy was NOT to read the company Policies & Procedures. Bad, bad combination.

Women home based business owners should strongly consider certifying their company as a woman-owned and operated business. Why? Becoming a certified woman-owned and operated business opens a number of doors for bigger and long-term contracts from the government and large corporations.Certification for women home based business owners is the response of the government for the ears of discrimination against minorities. It allows for bidding and approval processes to b

There’s perhaps nothing in the selling profession that is more rewarding and personally fulfilling than to take a customer away from the competition. And in addition to the way picking up a new customer makes you feel, it doesn’t hurt your pocketbook, either.So if prospecting can be so much fun, why don’t salespeople these days do more of it? Why are so many of even veteran salespeople so firmly stuck in an existing customer rut?I believe the answer is partly
Time after time, we are told, “You can’t do your job if you make it personal.” Compassion is nothing if not personal. It puts you who are right now into the experience of the person to whom you are relating. Within the context of the human experience the perceived, hierarchical differences between you and that person dissolve. What remains are two human beings facing their maker together.
As children we were taught to be compassionate with others. So many of us started out in our professions to express that very heartfelt drive. But, as soon as we took our place in what could be called “the compassionate arts” (which, incidentally could very well include firefighters, police personnel, lawyers and politicians), we are more than warned to stay away from that territory; it is virtually bred out of us.
How? Through a persistent and repetitive exposure to head-based approaches that make us more and more distant from the human beings in our care. But we all know, it never really works.
Burnout is very often the by-product of having experiences of compassion slip in to our controlled environments. If repeated often enough, or with the right degree of intensity, because we are not taught how to integrate the experiences into our lives, we often find ourselves buried in emotions that do not fade away, but actually intensify over time, complicating, if not crippling, our lives.
Compassion by its very nature takes us out of our heads and into the realm of relating to our experience and the person we’re serving on a visceral, level. Because we are taught to distance ourselves fro
