Relationship Matters

Ep.6 Idiot Compassion


Listen Later

In this episode, Katie talks with one of the co-founders of CRR global, Faith Fuller, about Idiot Compassion. Idiot compassion is helping in unhelpful ways.  Helping someone perpetuate their neurosis or unskillfulness at the expense of others.  Or at the expense of a client's well-being.  This conversation covers:

  • The different situations that can bring out idiot compassion
  • Using Meet, Reveal Align and Act as a way of sharing a truth in a much more skilful way
  • The coach as a mirror: a client cannot change unless we reveal the truth to them

Faith Fuller is one of the co-founders and President of CRR Global. She is a psychologist and experienced trainer and coach, with over 15 years of experience in working with organizations, couples and communities. Faith takes a systems approach to coaching, namely that all aspects of the system need to be addressed in order for effective change to occur. Her particular skill is empowering powerful, productive and joyous relationships in couples, partnerships and teams. She also has a background in consultation, team building, conflict resolution and community crisis intervention.


For over 20 years, CRR Global has accompanied leaders, teams, and practitioners on their journey to build stronger relationships by focusing on the relationship itself, not only the individuals occupying it. This leads to a community of changemakers around the world. Supported by a global network of Faculty and Partners, we connect, inspire, and equip change agents to shift systems, one relationship at a time

We believe Relationship Matters, from humanity to nature, to the larger whole.
