Compassion
Happy Monday ‘Ohana!
We love this graphic! Its meaning sits very close to one of our core principles here at Ko’olauloa Health Center - compassion.
Many of us stop at Empathy when we try to support others through difficulties.
While Empathy allows us to authentically feel with the sufferer, it can sometimes reduce our ability to help, as we become immersed in their emotions.
To be an effective supporter, it's sometimes better to take a step back from the debilitating emotions and transition into Compassion, where we can take effective actions to help.
Have a beautiful week!
