Our practice teaches us to turn toward conditions as they are, without needing to avoid unpleasant sensations, emotions, or thoughts. This openheartedness leads naturally to compassion, the impulse to take action on behalf of those who are experiencing suffering. However, Western psychology has recognized a condition called \u201ccompassion fatigue,\u201d the \u201csecondary trauma\u201d that can result from helping others and that may lead to diminished capacity to empathize or feel compassion. Given all the suffering in the world and our access to it via global media, we may be overwhelmed and start to shut down to the world and those close to us. This evening, we will take a look at how our practice may help us recognize compassion fatigue as it develops and maintain an open heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As practitioners of mindful awareness, we want to remain openhearted to the suffering in the world.
