Mental health through compassion

Mental health through compassion written by Dr. Ahmed Dobea ... "This book explains to us the difference between many matters that we confuse, such as self-blame and vigilant conscience, and submission to people and cooperation with them, and self-confidence and arrogance, and respect for authority and fear of it, among other meanings. We will find a revealing clarification of the reason for our reactions, as just as we thought that the actions of others are the cause of our reactions, this book reveals to us that our unmet needs are the fundamental cause of feelings and reactions. And our needs are our responsibility, so we free others from being the cause of our pain and free ourselves from being the cause of others' pain. This clarification of the boundaries of each individual's responsibility for the pain and harm of others is a central idea in the approach of compassion. It is a compass we follow to understand and monitor our feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and needs, as well as those of others, so we find ourselves holding a lamp that illuminates the way to our relationships in life and at the level of mental health."
