This video follows on from the previous two videos about The Compassionate Friend. However, here, Dr Stan Steindl discusses creating the "ideal compassionate other." This involves imagining an ideal being, without human weaknesses or flaws, who is exactly the kind of compassionate other that we want and would feel most helpful. If you would like to write your thoughts and ideas down on the "Creating Your Ideal Compassionate Other" handout mentioned in the video, go to the link below to download the PDF.
