Compassion for ourselves and others is essential in the healing journey from "summary" of What Happened to You? by Oprah Winfrey,Bruce D. Perry
When we talk about compassion, it's easy to think about being kind and understanding towards others. We often forget to show that same compassion towards ourselves. But the truth is, healing begins with compassion - for ourselves and for others. Think about it, when we experience trauma or adversity, it's easy to be hard on ourselves. We might blame ourselves or believe that we are somehow at fault. But the reality is that we are often just doing the best we can with the tools we have. Showing ourselves compassion means recognizing that we are human, that we make mistakes, and that we deserve love and understanding. But compassion doesn't stop with ourselves. It's equally important to show compassion towards others. When we understand that everyone has their own struggles and challenges, we can approach them with empathy and kindness. This is especially important when it comes to healing from trauma. When we show compassion towards others, we create a safe space for healing to occur. We can listen without judgment, offer support without conditions, and hold space for others to process their emotions. Compassion allows us to connect with others on a deeper level, fostering understanding and healing for everyone involved. So, as we journey towards healing, let's remember the power of compassion. Let's be gentle with ourselves, offering the same love and understanding that we would offer to a friend in need. And let's extend that compassion to others, creating a community of support and healing.
