Comportamentale: Cognitive Based Compassion Training Session: Developing Attention and Stability of Mind
Completed at Week 1. Initial meditation exercises will be described and practiced to train attention skills (on breath) and create mental stability.
Comportamentale: Cognitive Based Compassion Training Session: Cultivating Insight into the Nature of Mental Experience
Completed at Week 2. Exercises to develop mindfulness will continue in order to promote mental stability and clarity.

Completed at Week 4. Further analysis of mental processes.
Comportamentale: Cognitive Based Compassion Training Session: Developing Appreciation and Gratitude for Others
Completed at Week 5. A reflection of all the things that bring us well-being are provided by or dependent upon other beings is encouraged.
Comportamentale: Cognitive Based Compassion Training Session: Developing Affection and Empathy
Completed at Week 6. The following concepts are presented and carefully considered: (1) cooperation and solidarity is essential for our survival and flourishing, as we are all extremely vulnerable and need each other; (2) hate and selfishness only cause suffering to others and ourselves and can only be prevented by cultivating sincere affection for others.
Comportamentale: Cognitive Based Compassion Training Session: Realizing Wishing and Aspiring Compassion
Completed at Week 7. Participants are invited to deepen their reflection on the reasons for gratitude, empathy, and affection for others, and see how they lead to feelings of compassion, or the wish for others to be free from suffering.
Comportamentale: Cognitive Based Compassion Training Session: Realizing Active Compassion
Completed at Week 8. The strategies used until this point will be reviewed in order to move from the wish for others to be free of suffering, toward the sense that we want to and must take steps to relieve their suffering.
