In this episode Dr. Catherine Schweikert, author of the book The Compassion Remedy, joins us to discuss the work she is doing within the medical field to integrate compassion into healthcare practices.
Catherine describes the current state of our healthcare model and tells us why the absence of compassion is causing both patients and physicians to suffer unnecessarily.
We talk about the multiple benefits, common fears, and proven science demonstrating the positive impact that compassion has on our health and overall wellbeing.
Catherine illustrates the difference between empathy and compassion & why self-compassion is necessary in order to be of true service to others. She dispels myths surrounding the term “compassion fatigue” and why these misconceptions exist. We explore the reason people “need to be needed” and how sacrificing oneself in the process of helping another is not a compassionate action.
As we wrap up Catherine shares info about the documentary she is working on: Compassion Heals. You. Me. The World. To find out more information about this project or to get involved, please email: Lee@LeeTomlinson.com
