Great statement. Only one point of disagreement — I do not think it is always necessary to have another person present who feels compassion. Compassion for oneself is as integral as the interpersonal. As they say, you cannot help someone who will not help themselves. I think it is also often true, however, that a person cannot help themselves if no one else ever helps them. Thank you for sharing this.
Engage! 
That sums it up very well.
