Whatever your personal situation right now the place to start healing is the same: Through cultivation of friendliness, kindness and compassion for yourself. Psychology has not always expressed the importance of self-compassion. Existential Counseling Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Meditation are methods that encourage and structure self-compassion and self-understanding through attention to oneself in the present moment. Existential Psychotherapy and Mindfulness are fundamentally experiential and the foundational experience for a joyful life is appreciation for yourself. That's the Compassionate Way.
