Compassion or Caretaking or Codependency
Compassion or Caretaking or Codependency
by Rev. Dr. Roger D. Jones
Unitarian Universalist Society of Sacramento
Sunday, February 4, 2018
“If you really cared about other people, you’d do this for me!” Have you ever heard this? Sometimes it can be confusing to know whether we are choosing compassionate action or being goaded into taking responsibility for another person. Or we feel compelled ourselves to save others at our own expense. It’s a challenge to sort it out and observe healthy boundaries. This is part of a sermon series on compassion.
