Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) is an eight-week (16 hour) curriculum that was developed by research psychologists and clinical psychologists at the Stanford University Medical School through their Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE). These scholars and scientists translated training protocols and concepts from ancient wisdom traditions into a secular framework, which all persons can use, regardless of religious and/or spiritual affiliations. CCT introduces students to psychological concepts and practices that strengthen and expand a person’s innate capacities for compassion and related pro-social dispositions, such as, kindness, forgiveness, gratitude and generosity. Instructors of CCT must complete a rigorous training and certification program.
Empirical evidence strongly associates the cultivation of compassion and related pro-social dispositions with a wide range of psycho-physical benefits:
Improved immune function;
Increase in optimism; stronger social connections;
Decrease in loneliness and anxiety;
Increase in confidence;
Enhanced psychological flexibility;
Stronger commitment to values;
And greater sense of meaning and purpose.
The more compassionate one becomes, the less stress one experiences. Compassion burnout is a misnomer for another problem, namely, empathic distress. An antidote to burnout is more compassion, not less. The roots of compassion lie in love and kindness, which provides us with an inexhaustible reservoir of energy and inspiration.
Compassion Cultivation Training is designed to support anyone who wants to cultivate compassion for themselves and for others.
