NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk for health advice. This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of the nervous system and oxytocin. Claims around compassion, inflammation, and disease lack sufficient scientific support. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t... Dr.Schweikert discusses how humans use and can improve their compassion. Dr. Catherine Schweikert is a psychophysiologist whose research focuses on how compassion affects our physiology. As a physician assistant in emergency rooms and urgent care offices for over 23 years, she has experienced difficulty maintaining compassion. This inspired her to get a Ph.D., and her dissertation was on compassion and physiology in health workers. She later attended Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) and created a program to help healthcare workers and others create a sustainable compassion practice that avoids the pitfalls of empathetic overwhelm. Dr. Schweikert has delivered lectures and presentations for audiences such as Sutter Medical Group, the Veterans Administration, Sacramento State University, UC Davis, Kaiser Permanente, My Sister’s House, and the Family Justice System. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
