Lisa took her first Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) class in 2015 and found the daily practices powerful and transformative. She participated in the 2018-19 Teacher Training through the Compassion Institute. Lisa works as an independent Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing psychotherapy in Spanish and English, especially to survivors of trauma. She has found CCT practices extremely helpful to remain open and engaged in her professional role as well as in the journey to be a peaceful parent, an advocate for social justice, and a more compassionate and happier human. The community found among fellow CCT students and teachers has also been of profound benefit and worth sharing as widely as possible.
