Ruthless Compassion Institute I help women heal their emotional wounds to become powerful kindness warriors.

The fundamental aim of the Ruthless Compassion Institute is for our clients to lead richer, happier, and easier lives through the practice of Ruthless Compassion. The institute is dedicated to improving lives by empowering people to be more conscious, make reality-based choices and break dysfunctional patterns of thinking and behavior.

“Personal healing and greater awareness make a significant impact on the world. Every person who changes their own life for the better becomes a role model to others. As more people achieve wholeness through fulfillment and freedom from suffering, the healthier our lives, communities and in turn, our world will be” – Marcia Sirota MD (Founder & Director)

Compassion means being open enough to be moved to action when you witness someone’s suffering. You can’t sit by and do nothing because you empathize with the other’s pain.

Too many of us are drowning in stuff. We accumulate so many possessions but they don’t bring us joy, fulfillment, or peace. We need to see that things don’t make us happy and the more stuff we have, the more burdened we are.

You know you’re dealing with a narcissist when they accuse you of hurting them after you’ve told them that they hurt you. Only a narcissist will turn it around and make you the bad guy when you’re trying to protect, defend, and advocate for yourself in response to their bad behaviour.

Narcissists aren’t happy. Their relationships are shallow and unsatisfying. Their lives lack meaning and fulfillment. Their self-esteem is tremendously fragile. And they’re so afraid of losing their power that they’re easily thrown into a rage.
