New Year’s Message of Connection Through Compassion

Dear friends,

As the calendar turns to a new year, many of us reflect on goals for self-improvement. While important, our typical resolutions often focus inward: losing weight, increasing productivity and prosperity. This year, I invite you to consider setting an intention of compassion - not just for yourself, but for enhancing connection with others.

The latest research shows our brains are wired for empathetic relationships. When we communicate with compassion, it activates neural networks for emotional regulation and peace. By making small, consistent choices to uplift others in 2024, we can transform our wellbeing.

The Basis for Connection 

Interpersonal neurobiology demonstrates how profoundly our brains and bodies interface with those around us. Studies by Daniel Siegel show that portions of our prefrontal cortex - governing social engagement, attunement with others, and managing emotional states - only develop properly through consistent, caring attachment in childhood. The resulting neural integration creates capacity for resilience, insight, emotional balance and empathy.

In other words, our neurological health depends on receiving and giving compassion. Humans thrive when we feel safe, seen and secure with others. By making deposits into our collective “emotional bank accounts” through understanding, validation and care, we spur the neurobiological states that underpin personal joy and social harmony.

Cultivating Mutual Compassion

Most spiritual traditions recognize interconnection. As the Buddhist teacher Shantideva noted, “All suffering is caused by seeking one’s own happiness exclusively without considering the happiness of others.” Research affirms that people who extend themselves to others enjoy greater longevity, satisfaction, and sense of purpose. 

So how do we translate this into daily life? By building habits of communicating with compassion upfront, we avoid unnecessary conflicts downstream. Monitor your mental self-talk to catch criticism before voicing it. Ask gently instead of accusing; express hurt feelings versus attacking; request specific change without judgment. Give others the benefit of doubt by asking clarifying questions first.

Lead with empathy and validation so others feel safe to engage. Use “I” statements:  “I felt worried when...” Listen fully without interruption, reflect back what you hear. These small shifts allow us to exchange differing needs and perspectives without igniting volatile emotions. They lay the groundwork for collaborative problem solving and win-win compromise.

The same principles apply internally. Self-compassion is not self-pity, but rather caring for ourselves as we would a dear friend - with encouragement, kindness and forgiveness rather than harsh criticism. By learning to be present with discomfort when it arises, we build capacity for resilience when faced with life’s inevitable challenges.

The Mutual Benefits of Connection 

Why invest such effort into compassion? Because how we treat others also shapes the neural structures and biochemical flows within our own bodies in turn. Showing hostility sparks inflammatory cascades and stress hormones linked to later depression and disease, whereas warmth activates pleasure neurotransmitters like oxytocin, endogenous opioids, and dopamine underlying joyful states.

Loving presence releases these chemicals in both parties’ brains to open-hearted states of safety, trust and closeness. In contrast, interacting with animosity, disrespect or coldness triggers pain circuitry that closes us off in fear and defensiveness. We have more power than we realize to influence others’ wellbeing through our mode of communication – while simultaneously cultivating peace neurochemistry beneficial to our own health.

By making small, conscious choices each day to uplift others through compassion, we stimulate our own regulatory brain networks to support happiness from within. We broaden perspective, enhance community cohesion, and seed positive cultural change. 

Habit Stacking for Sustainable Change  

But sentiments alone will not suffice; we need commitment and concerted effort. This year, instead of quickly-abandoned resolutions, build compassion through “habit stacking” – latching simple actions onto existing routines until they become automatic.

For example, place a daily reminder to reach out to someone in need when you wake up, during lunch break, en route home from work, or before bed. Send appreciative texts, make phone calls to distant friends and family, write handwritten cards, extend invitations to share a meal. Leverage digital calendars to schedule one-on-one walks, coffees or video calls offering empathetic listening. 

When minor frustrations inevitably arise, notice physiological cues like tightness in your chest, flushing, or thoughts racing. Pause, take some deep breaths to calm your nervous system, then respond with measured empathy focused on resolving the conflict respectfully. Apologize quickly when you misstep, then reflect later in your journal on triggers and needed self-care. 

On especially chaotic or stressful days when compassion feels difficult, be sure to build in buffering routines - a walk outdoors, calling a close friend, taking yourself out to a nice meal, watching an uplifting movie. Self-care prevents burnout so we can sustain emotional presence with others long-term.

Set S.M.A.R.T. goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound) around daily or weekly relationship-nurturing commitments. Note your progress and challenges non-judgmentally. Over time as supportive communication habits solidify, track associated improvements in mood, family climate, workplace camaraderie, sense of community. 

A New Year’s Blessing

May 2024 plant seeds of compassion that blossom into more peaceful homes, friendships and communities. When conflicts brew, may we lead with empathy, de-escalate skilfully and resolve respectfully. When stresses mount, may we nourish ourselves so we can sustain loving presence with others.

As we learn to steward our inner landscapes with care, self-mastery and wisdom, external results will naturally follow. Feel free to reach out if you need encouragement or accountability pursuing goals of connection. We’re all in this together. 

Wishing you a new year rich in warmth, mutual understanding and goodwill flowing between open hearts.

Recovering from Addiction: Finding your “Secure Base”

Julia Popowski, LPCA, LCASA

We know that enriching environments and reinforcing new productive relationships are protective factors for those trapped in a cycle of addiction.  While working with young people recovering from substance use, I’ve noted how many have experienced a feeling of isolation or insecurity in their lives.  One of the most effective solutions to addiction is finding secure connection or community: a “secure base”. This “secure base” in early recovery could be created with a person, such as a sponsor, teacher, therapist or mentor. Recovery residences and mutual aid support fellowships are also excellent resources for “secure bases”.  These powerful connections can serve as corrective experiences to begin cultivating a secure attachment style or “earned secure attachment”.

 John Bowlby published his first book in 1988, A Secure Base: Parent-Child Attachment and Healthy Human Development.  His theory illustrated the biologically rooted tendencies of individuals to form strong emotional bonds with their primary caregivers during the first few years of their life. Research shows evidence that these early relationships directly affect the health of interpersonal relationships throughout our entire lives.  

 More recently, psychiatrist Daniel Siegel revived interest in attachment theory with a new theoretical framework called Interpersonal Neurobiology. Dr Siegel’s work helps us understand why early relationships are important from a biological point of view. Early psychologists knew that these relationships hold critical importance and Siegel’s focus on the brain illuminates how our behavioral dysfunction and emotional distress occur due to a physical manifestation of insecure attachment in the brain.  Understanding how insecure attachments affect our brain’s function can both alleviate shame and empower individuals to cultivate wellness in their lives.

Interpersonal Biology shows how the social stimuli from our primary caregivers in our first few years activate neuronal patterns: essentially wiring the brain.  If when a baby cries they are picked up and soothed, their brain develops habitual patterns to move from a state of distress to a state of calm.  “Neurons that fire together wire together,” and neural pathways created by secure attachment better equip adults to cope with challenging emotions.  On the other hand, when a baby cries and they are ignored or disciplined, the baby learns that emotions lead to isolation and disappointment.

  Our adult interpersonal interactions are influenced by early childhood emotional experiences.  Attachment theory teaches us that when parents are available, attuned, and non-intrusive, children are able to use them for emotional regulation; this helps develop a “secure attachment style”.  This kind of care guides the child’s brain toward wholesome independence; where they are able to care for themselves, but also able to allow others to care for them.  When parents are inconsistent, a child may learn to cling to his or her caregiver to meet their needs, establishing a style of connecting that is very sensitive to abandonment or withdrawal and often displays as anger or clinging; this is “anxious/ambivalent attachment style”. On the other hand, a child may feel so neglected that he or she “gives up” on others and shuts down their need for support–to the point where it can be difficult to receive connection or support later in life; this is “avoidant/dismissing attachment style”. Or a “disorganized attachment style” may have been developed by a child being frightened by a caregiver, leaving them confused, apathetic, passive, and anxious. These adaptations may be necessary during childhood to ensure survival within their environments but they create significant problems connecting with others later in life; mainly in committed relationships. Attachment styles may also be disrupted by traumatic experiences and relationships with other people such as close friends and romantic partners.  They are not fixed and can shift through experiences with new relationships throughout the lifespan

The relationship in early recovery that one creates with a sponsor, mentor or therapist can begin to mend insecure and incomplete attachment styles.  These relationships can provide transitional support in helping an individual co-regulate emotions and behaviors, with others, while they develop the ability to self-regulate, for themselves.  This is the beginning of their process of “earned secure attachment”: a healthy ability to relate with others learned over time.

In looking for a secure base, I believe it is crucial to find people who are in the process of doing the healing work and reconciling their insecure attachment styles.  It will be more difficult for those with current insecure styles to provide a well-functioning secure base without first addressing their insecure styles.  The secure base provider should be consistent, attuned, empathetic, responsive, and also be able to hold the person accountable.  Recovery residences, mutual-aid support fellowships like 12 step programs and Refuge Recovery in addition to having a sponsor, mentor, teacher or therapist, are excellent secure bases to begin reorganizing the attachment styles of those in early recovery.

 Experiencing secure attachment allows us to feel safe when encountering feelings, as we gain self-esteem, self-compassion, and new neuronal connections that will serve us.  These new-found skills and safety make room for healing.  When we do not feel safe and do not experience emotions, the brain holds onto our old survival resources (using drugs and alcohol and/or other addictive behaviors). Safe places and relationships are key to the beginning of better patterns, behavior, and outcomes.

Psychology’s Top 12

Have you read 12 RULES FOR LIFE? It’s the bestseller from Canadian Psychology Professor Jordan Peterson, a widely cited scholar of personality. The New York Times’ David Brooks calls Dr. Peterson “the most influential public intellectual in the Western world right now.” The popularity of his book reveals once again the appeal of thinkers who make sense out of the uncertainties of the human condition, i.e. offer antidotes. Those of us in publishing know also the power of finite numbers, so we’ll take the number and run. Here are Penguin Random House’s current top 12 psychology titles. Recurrent themes of community, surviving trauma, solitude, brain science and their applications for professional and personal success are meant to assist you on your journey: 

 12 RULES FOR LIFE: AN ANTIDOTE TO CHAOS by Jordan B. Peterson

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson’s answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us, among other things, why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers. (Available as an audiobook on May 8th).

 ENLIGHTENMENT NOW: THE CASE FOR REASON, SCIENCE, HUMANISM, AND PROGRESS by Steven Pinker

“My new favorite book of all time.”—Bill Gates

If you think the world is coming to an end, think again: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science.

 WHEN: THE SCIENTIFIC SECRETS OF PERFECT TIMING by Daniel H. Pink

Our lives are a never-ending stream of “when” decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it’s often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed.

 BRAVING THE WILDERNESS: THE QUEST FOR TRUE BELONGING AND THE COURAGE TO STAND ALONE by Brené Brown

A timely and important book that challenges everything we think we know about cultivating true belonging in our communities, organizations and culture. Brown argues that what we’re experiencing today is a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. Brown writes, “The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it’s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.”

 LEADERS EAT LAST: WHY SOME TEAMS PULL TOGETHER AND OTHERS DON’T by Simon Sinek

Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. The best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a “Circle of Safety” that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

 THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE: BRAIN, MIND, AND BODY IN THE HEALING OF TRAUMA by Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.

One of the world’s leading experts on traumatic stress explains how trauma affects people, its underlying neurobiology, and the many new treatments that are making it possible for sufferers to move beyond trauma in order to reclaim their lives.

 THE POWER OF HABIT: WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO IN LIFE AND BUSINESS by Charles Duhigg

The break-out New York Times bestseller The Power of Habit shows us that by understanding the three-step “loop” all habits form in our brains—cue, routine, reward—we can change our behavior and take control over our lives.

 QUIET: THE POWER OF INTROVERTS IN A WORLD THAT CAN’T STOP TALKING by Susan Cain

The book that started the Quiet revolution

In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. After all, it is to introverts—Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.

 THE WHOLE-BRAIN CHILD: 12 REVOLUTIONARY STRATEGIES TO NURTURE YOUR CHILD’S DEVELOPING MIND by Daniel J. Siegel, Tina Payne Bryson

In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain—and make accessible—the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures. Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

 GETTING TO YES: NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT WITHOUT GIVING IN by Roger Fisher, William L. Ury, Bruce Patton

Getting to Yes has helped millions of people learn a better way to negotiate. One of the primary business texts of the modern era, it is based on the work of the Harvard Negotiation Project, a group that deals with all levels of negotiation and conflict resolution. Thoroughly updated and revised, it offers readers a straight- forward, universally applicable method for negotiating personal and professional disputes without getting angry-or getting taken.

 MINDSET: THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS by Carol S. Dweck

After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment.

 MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor E. Frankl, Foreword by Harold S. Kushner

Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl’s memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl’s theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos (“meaning”)-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.

Mental Health Counselling

Why does therapy with your work?

One of the advantages to age is having had the time to muddle through, dig through and ride through thousands of life experiences, both alone and with companions of all sorts, friends, families, lovers, clients and professionals who acted as wisdom givers. Over these decades I have had countless capacities where I provided counseling/therapy and support to various demographics. My experience is vast in both who I worked with and how I worked.

Back in the 90’s I walked the streets of the Tenderloin district in San Francisco, handing out syringes and condoms while having conversations to help addicts and street workers stay safe and feel cared for. Concurrently I hung out in the ER of a tough inner-city hospital providing care to those wounded and those who delivered them into the hands of waiting compassionate doctors. When I returned to Canada, I worked providing spiritual care in an inner-city church. Now I am in private practice as a Registered Psychotherapist (more formal training!) and a large portion of my who I am blessed to work with are students, health care workers and senior level management executives.

I came to each of these roles with some form of training in counselling and therapy. Sometimes that training was in the form of learning a specific therapeutic modality like Brief Therapy, Parts Therapy, Prayer and Meditation, Narrative Therapy, EMDR and Hypnotherapy. There are more of these modalities that have piled on over the years, some more helpful in certain circumstances, some not so helpful. Some of these techniques like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy have more research than others – but what works best is not defined by the research, but by the individual clients.

In summarizing over a decade of research on the therapeutic relationship and psychotherapeutic outcomes, Lambert and Barley (noted researchers in this field) conclude[d] that improvements in the provision of therapy “may best be accomplished by learning to improve one’s ability to relate to patients and tailoring that relationship to individual patients” (2001).i

We are all wired differently, and we all see the world in different and interesting ways. Having mastered a broad range of skills has helped me become more effective at supporting people who are looking find different ways of being, most often so they can experience more peace, happiness and success in their lives.

My clinic, TheAnxiety.Clinic has a sister company. TheWorkshopClinic.com. Through TheWorkshopClinic.com I offer practical skill-based training to students and seasoned professionals in mental health care. I love to teach. Teaching is such a great way to put good out into the world. I have even created my modality to treat anxiety. It is called the Anxiety Release Protocol (ARP) and is based in decades of work helping people end panic attacks and manage their anxiety. So yes, I wrote the book on it! (You can see the book here: www.ToddKaufman.ca )

I am a bit of a geek and love to paw over research, and both learn and teach new skills. Imagine both my interest and amusement when I ran into a comment from a noted psychiatrist and theorist Daniel Stern who had to say this:

“Most of us [therapists] have been dragged kicking and screaming to the realization that what really works in psychotherapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. That’s what does the work. We are all devastated by this reality because we spent years and a lot of money learning a particular technique or theory, and it is very disheartening to realize that what we learned is only the vehicle or springboard to create a relationship – which is where the real work happens” (Stern, 2008).ii

Stern’s perspective is captured in the body of work known as Interpersonal Neurobiology by Daniel Siegel, child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist at UCLA (Siegel, 1999).iii Daniel Siegel is one of my favourite published psychiatrists these days. I’ve attended a few of his workshops.

Much to the chagrin of my students I have on occasion quipped, “the modality primarily buys you enough time to build the relationship with your client/patient.” Yet is not just any type of relationship. Sure, we need to have trust in our therapist and even like them! However, the keys to a successful in relationship with your therapist is two-fold – authenticism and love. (No, we are not talking a romantic, sexual or counter-transferential love.) But we are talking love!

The kind of loving relationship where we feel REALLY safe, we KNOW we matter. We KNOW, deep down, our best interests will always come first to our therapist. There’s no risk in holding back, no fear of losing someone or being judged. You know that no matter what is said, or how exposed your deepest and darkest thought may be, they are here for you and going nowhere. THAT kind of love.

For so many of us this type of deep authentic relationship is foreign. Sadly, many of us have never been a part of such a relationship, so knowing how to create it, or do it, is new territory. Often new things can also be scary things.

Despite all this research and my decades of training and experience, I knew deep down that being authentic and stepping into loving relationships was the key to solving most everything. Ironically this master key is something most of us have a really hard time doing – even your therapist.

Mastering this key is liking mastering your golf game. You’ve got to get out on the green and the driving range and keep trying to hit that little white ball! And if you want to get really good, because you know it makes you really happy, then hire the best golf pro you can. Find one who has ‘been there and done that.’

In the case of mastering the stuff that empowers you to live a life of peace and happiness – that’s where I come in. I will will help you dig into authentic, enriching and loving process called therapy, which in turn helps you master your game of life.

Brainstorm - Daniel J. Siegel, MD | Parenting |630877921

Brainstorm Daniel J. Siegel, MD Genre: Parenting Price: $12.99 Publish Date: January 7, 2014 In this New York Times –bestselling book, Dr. Daniel Siegel shows parents how to turn one of the most challenging developmental periods in their children’s lives into one of the most rewarding. Between the ages of twelve and twenty-four, the brain changes in important and, at times, challenging ways.
