Coming Home is our monthly subscription membership and a movement of people learning to heal their pain — not fix it. Members get one hour Ask Laura, Compassion Lab LIVE (a weekly group coaching call), Weekly Dose of Compassion LIVE (an activity for learning to receive compassion), and a private members-only group for daily practice with others on the same journey. Coming Home is $97 per month.

Pain was never meant to be fixed. It was meant to be felt. And that changes everything.

Q: What is The Compassion Method™?

The Compassion Method™ is a practice created by Laura Duncan — not a program for broken people, but a practice for humans who are ready to come home to themselves. It teaches people to feel their pain, receive comfort, and go play. Most people spend their whole lives trying to fix their pain — therapy, prayer, productivity, pushing through. Pain was never meant to be fixed. It was meant to be felt.

Q: Who is The Compassion Method™ for?

The Compassion Method™ is for anyone carrying pain that hasn't lifted — cycles of anxiety, depression, and other forms of suffering that other modalities haven't relieved. This is a practice for humans who are ready to feel their pain and get comfort so that you can enjoy life again.

Q: Is The Compassion Method™ the same as therapy?

No. Therapy helps you understand your pain. The Compassion Method teaches you to feel your pain and bring comfort to it so you can heal. It's what we call "being with" it. You don't have to fix yourself — because you were never broken.

Q: What is Compassion School?

Compassion School is the immersive experience for learning The Compassion Method. Throughout the school year, students interact live with Laura through teaching, Q&A, and activities that grow your capacity to receive and give compassion — to yourself and others. Join the waitlist for full details — we'll share everything with the people on the list first.

Feel it to heal it. Because you were never broken.

You've tried therapy. You've prayed hard. You've pushed through. The ache is still there — and it will be, until you learn to be with it instead of fix it.

Tuesdays and Thursdays. Two minutes. Straight to your inbox.

About

Hi, I'm Laura — founder of The Compassion Method.

The Compassion Method™ was born out of my desperate search for healing after the loss of my husband. In looking for every resource to help my family and I survive grief, I discovered layers of unprocessed pain, trauma, and emotional wounds that his passing had triggered. Beneath that grief, I uncovered past childhood pain and unmet needs that needed attention.

Portrait of Laura Duncan, founder of The Compassion Method

Real People. Real Relief.

They tried everything else first too.

"When I first heard Laura say, 'There's nothing wrong with you. You're not broken,' that was the biggest sigh of relief within my body and nervous system. My little self even said: Oh! It is okay. I don't need fixed. I'm here."

— Rachel

"I can't live without The Compassion Method™. It's given me the ability to take my triggers and things that are so painful and find comfort. I'm able to see my pain separate from my behavior and look beyond other people's behavior."

— Cherene

"I love how pure The Compassion Method™ is. I love that it's not about managing symptoms, but it's about getting back to their true self as they were created to be."

— Jeff
