MPSY 6840 - Compassion Meditation Lab
(2 cr Pass/Fail)
This course will provide students with training in Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT), a secularized meditation protocol for developing compassion towards oneself and others. Through a systematic, eight-step process, CBCT employs analytical meditation alongside non-analytical techniques to foster insight into one’s own mental experiences, self-compassion and resilience, gratitude and forgiveness, empathy, and unbiased compassion. Students will be guided through this process in weekly meditation sessions. Although CBCT has shown to have demonstrable psychological and physical health benefits, the focus of this course will be on the actual practice of the meditation, rather than on meditation theory and the scientific study of meditation.
