Self empathy is the foundation for our ability to empathise with others, and to
sustain a challenging conversation. It also is a powerful way to remain centred,
creative and connected within ourselves, whatever is happening in our life.
At this Deepening the Foundation training you will:
- Renew & improve the skills learnt in the Foundation Training
- Learn more about connecting empathically with yourself and others
- Practise “whole sense” listening
- Learn the Self-Empathy “dance floor”
- Understand and use connection requests
- Develop your colloquial NVC
- Practise staying connected to yourself during conflict, and when you or others feel hurt, sad or scared
- Discover the healing power of presence
