Understanding Ourselves & Others (encore) [230]

Stuck in judgement? If so, you're not alone. In this episode, we're exploring the 'compassion of understanding,' the second level in Dr. Gabor Maté's five levels of compassion. This level of compassion can help us move beyond judgment and into curiosity and understanding. We'll talk about some strategies to put this into action so that we can cultivate compassion both for ourselves and others.     About: The Joy Lab Podcast blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood.
