Feeling compassion toward a dangerous person will not lead you to submit to them or put yourself at risk or condone their actions. What it does simply, is relieve your anxiety – which immediately makes you stronger and more resilient.

A common mistake people make is assuming compassion requires some kind of action they’re not ready to take.
