Rick Steves: When I am unable to feel compassion, there's an armoring. My heart is kind of armored. It's because I'm afraid to touch into the vulnerability that's there in some way. The more trauma we've had, the more we need that protection and those feelings can be overwhelming. If you've been traumatized and now you feel trauma and you're not feeling compassion, you should go feel your feelings. That will give us space for other people in our hearts.
