Who We Are
A model built from clinical experience and scientific evidence
The Colombian Institute of Compassion was born out of the need to offer a deeper and more structured response to human suffering.
For years we observed how many people went through therapeutic processes focused solely on reducing symptoms, without addressing the dynamics that caused or maintained them.
As a result of clinical practice, research, and supervision of hundreds of cases, we developed the Compassion-Based Psychological Reorganization Model (CBPRM), an integrative framework that now guides all our clinical interventions, training processes, and organizational programs.
Our purpose is to support sustainable, ethical, and scientifically sound transformation processes.
