Grief counseling and counseling are utterly unimaginable without the profound essence of empathy and compassion. However, professionals and volunteers often find themselves in situations where compassion is lacking or empathy inadvertently triggers compassion. To maintain our own mental and physical well-being and to support others in doing the same, it is not only valuable but imperative to delve into the realms of understanding how to cultivate appropriate compassion. Unlike compassion, which solely evokes pleasant feelings in others and oneself, excessive demands can arise from compassion over time.

A solid theoretical foundation, encompassing factors that hinder compassion and cultivate it, along with clear case studies drawn from practical experiences, serves as the cornerstone for developing the essential core competence of appropriate compassion in social work. By embracing this knowledge and applying it in our interactions with others, we can strive to create a more compassionate and supportive world.
