Tough Compassion in Practice
- Know if the other person is in a position where they are willing and able to engage in this kind of conversation with you.
- Make yourself accessible as a human being who can be vulnerable, who can be hurt, and who can appreciate the other person even during a disagreement.
- Learn to truly listen to the other person, understand and get curious. It creates space for the other to think a little bit differently.
- Practice staying internally grounded while emotional storms rage.
- If things go south and insults are slung, learn to let go and exit from the dialogue.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
