Meditation: I agree with dr. Rossman. Also meditation can allow you to learn more about yourself and your own responses, plus feel compassion towards others too. Rather than engaging in theory about yourself, you're simply observing your natural sensations as they arise. This can be liberating. More can be found in this article: http://tinyurl.Com/cskvt8n.
