Chapter 14: Compassion in Pain Care
Presenter: Shelly Prosko
Compassionate pain care is more than just extending kindness towards people in pain. It involves the dynamic process of gaining a more in-depth understanding of the needs of the person in pain and ourselves; then choosing the best responses, within the context of the situation. Compassionate care also means having the skills to facilitate self-compassion in our patients and in ourselves.
Without compassion for the person in pain, we cannot form an effective therapeutic relationship. And without practising self-compassion, it is difficult to continue helping people with this complex phenomenon of pain. As healthcare providers, it is assumed we will provide ongoing compassionate care. However, research shows the capacity for providing and receiving compassion can vary and depend on many factors.
Fortunately, growing research also suggests compassion can be trained and can improve pain care and protect against practitioner burnout and empathic distress.
Join Shelly for this webinar that will provide a guiding path to enhance compassion that can then improve pain care and the health and wellbeing of ourselves and those we serve.
Learning Objectives for Chapter 14:
- Describe components of compassion and self-compassion and their value in pain care for both the person in pain and the healthcare professional.
- Outline challenges and barriers we face that influence or inhibit our ability to offer and receive compassion.
- Understand contemporary views surrounding compassion fatigue and empathic distress.
- Learn practical tips and experience practices that prime for compassion and cultivate self-compassion that can be shared with patients and also immediately be integrated into your own daily home and workplace routine.
What you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults.

Here is the description for the entire 15-part Book Club webinar series:
Are you looking for ways to better help people in pain? If you are, you’re not alone. It is estimated that over 1.5 billion people worldwide are affected by chronic pain. That’s 20.5% of the world population that is suffering and needs your help.
Join Neil Pearson, Shelly Prosko and Marlysa Sullivan, the co-editors of Yoga and Science in Pain Care, and 8 co-authors for the first-ever 15-part book club webinar series that will take place once per month over 15 months.
This book club webinar series is intended for:
- Practitioners including yoga therapists and healthcare practitioners interested in integrating yoga with their persistent pain population to expand their approaches in clinical practice
- Yoga teachers interested in understanding aspects of the science behind yoga and pain
- Medical/healthcare professionals who want to better understand pain or want to integrate yoga and mind/body practices
- Mind/body contemplative practitioners/researchers/clinicians who want to better understand the science around pain and how yoga as a mind/body practice works with people in pain
- Yoga practitioners or integrative health consumers who want an in-depth read with practical knowledge in this field.
- Yoga therapist programs and medical university/college programs that require online course study in pain care
- Schools that have online mind/body programs as stand-alone modules or as part of medical programs and other mind-body institutions.
- People suffering from pain, particularly those keen about learning some practices to help with pain self-care and who want to learn more about the value of integrating pain science and yoga
We also hope that this series will help bring together yoga therapists and health professionals. There is value in blending science and yoga therapy in pain care – for the person in pain, for the health professional, and for the yoga professional.
Learning Objectives for the Full Series:
- Describe the complexity of pain including the lived experience of pain and the science surrounding pain.
- Learn how yoga philosophy and practices can be used as an effective and evidence-informed intervention and provide a biopsychosocial-spiritual framework in pain care.
