If you were running a marathon or doing any kind of athletic training it's unlikely you'd start without a warm up or end without cooling down. And it's the same with being compassionate in healthcare work - you need to warm up your compassion muscles, and cool down at the end of your working day or shift.

In this bonus episode Dr Chris Irons takes Dr Paula Redmond and you through an exercise you can do as your own compassion warm up and cool down.
