Abstract
Empathy is a critical factor in counseling, yet the process of empathizing with suffering can have a detrimental impact on counselor well-being. In the wake of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the need for strategies to ameliorate this potential negative impact is even more apparent. This article explores compassion practices to meet that need.
