Compassion sounds simple enough. Be kind. Care about people. Help when you can.

But for those of us who spend our lives caring for others, compassion can get complicated.

How do we remain deeply connected to another person without absorbing their experience as our own? How do we stay open to suffering without becoming overwhelmed by it—or protecting ourselves by shutting down?

The Anatomy of Compassion explores what allows us to care deeply while remaining grounded in ourselves. We’ll look at empathy, compassion, boundaries, differentiation, and the embodied experience of being with another human being in pain.
