“The Science of Compassion: Origins, Measures, and Interventions,” which took place July 19th to 22nd, 2012 in Telluride, Colorado, was the first large-scale international conference of its kind dedicated to scientific inquiry into compassion. The conference convened a unique group of leading world experts in the fields of altruism, compassion, and service to present their latest research. This talk was part of the panel “Origins and Conceptual Models of Compassion” by Stephen Porges, Ph.D.
This is great information.
Excellent insight into the workings of the human defense system. Also pleasing to see how much of a positive effect meditation and deep breathing has on compassion, as they help turn off the defense systems of the body.
awesome. i listen to this over and over and over.
i hear something deeper everytime
Wonderful insightful, clear, integrated wisdom – based on science. We are using the books and the wisdom of Dr Porges in teaching TRE (Trauma Release Exercise) with great results. This is the future of trauma recovery !
