WHAT IS COMPASSION SATISFACTION

COMPASSION SATISFACTION

"JOY WHEN HELPING OTHERS" 


Building a relationship with another person can be the most healing activity you can offer them!

Compassion Satisfaction is the pleasure you get from helping others and serving to make life better in general for those around you.  Compassion satisfaction is derived from helping, serving, offering oneself as a volunteer and much more.  

Compassion is generated from deep within when one sees others being hurt, abandoned, marginalized or mistreated in one way or another.  The empathy for this person produces a desire to do something and once that something is done - it produces a sense of satisfaction of doing what you could do to alleviate some of the pain and suffering from the person you have helped.

Help is given with words of encouragement, a hug, prayer, a resource or even a service.  

The downside of Compassion Satisfaction is the potential to experience Compassion Fatigue and/or Burnout.  We will write more about that at a later date.  

STAY TUNED AND BE COMPASSIONATE!
