Question - As human services professionals, we ask others with whom we work to look at themselves honestly and to decide what they want to change or improve upon. We must be open to the same scrutiny. We need to ask these questions: "In what ways am I capable of helping others and myself?" As we work intimately with others, we have a responsibility to be committed to awareness of our own life issues, including our own anxiety. In your response, share your understanding of the relationship between self-compassion and being able to care for others. How do unresolved personal conflicts affect a human service worker's ability to help others?
