Listen "The Science of Holding Space: How Compassion Changes Outcomes"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we sit down with Maureen Shelton — ACPE Certified Educator, CBCT instructor, and co-developer of Compassion-Centered Spiritual Health — to uncover the surprising science behind compassion. Together, we explore how CBCT and CCSH transform chaplaincy from “holding space” into an evidence-based clinical intervention. Learn how compassion reshapes language, reduces patient distress, and even affects chaplains’ well-being. https://compassion.emory.edu/cbct-compassion-training/index.html
