Many clinicians lose their compassionate stance not because they don't care-but because something internally tightens or speeds up. Common moments: - the client is stuck or repeating patterns - the clock is running - you feel pressure to "do something" - your body feels tense, numb, or flooded Reflection: - What most often pulls you out of compassion in session? One word or one sentence is enough.

Most clinicians don't need to be told to "be more compassionate." What they need is a way to stay compassionate when sessions are hard. Mindful compassion isn't about being softer or more emotionally available. It's about regulating your nervous system so you can think, attune, and respond skillfully. In this space, we'll focus on: - compassion in the moment - protecting clinician energy - avoiding over-identification or emotional shutdown No perfection required. Just curiosity. Question: - What made you interested in mindful compassion for your clinical work right now?

Hello everyone! I am a longtime clinician, and over the years I’ve become increasingly interested in how mindful compassion supports, both clinical effectiveness and clinician sustainability. In my experience, technique is isn’t what shifts peoples’ patterns, it’s the quality of the presence we bring into the room. I joined this community to connect with other practitioners to explore how we can continue evolving our work without burning out or becoming emotionally armored. I’d love to hear: what’s one area of your clinical work that currently feels most challenging or energetically draining?
