One of the greatest challenges we face with our Loved Ones is getting through those times when BOTH OF US need empathy at the same time. When two people who Love each other dearly, can't seem to get a single thought across to the other. Both so desperate to be heard that neither one can hear the other. Two transmitters, no receivers. Sound familiar? These painful experiences can last for hours, days, even weeks.



In my work in my own life and with couples and families, I have found that Self-Empathy IS actually a key to breaking these cycles of disconnection. Practiced skillfully, it gives us a way to stop the yelling and get back to a connected state. Self-Empathy can (and does every day) save partners, family members, even work associates unthinkable amounts of grief.

At this Intensive, in a small group setting (20-30 people) we will learn:

1) How to detect a "Net Empathy Deficit," those times when NOTHING either one of us has to say will contribute to the conversation (except perhaps more pain).
2) What to do when that happens. Learn to identify those times and have a practiced plan in place to deal with them.
3) What to do after it happens. How to find your Center and Compassion and return to a state of Communication and Connection.
4) How to support your Loved Ones to hear you on a deeper level and participate more willingly in dialog.
 

Throughout the Intensive we will actively learn and practice the Art of Self-Connection and Connection with Others. We will learn and practice identifying old patterns and transitioning to new ones that work.

The practice of Self-Empathy is a gift. By learning and practicing it, we bring Compassion to Ourselves and to our Relationships and with that, a way to bring Happiness where before there was pain. I invite you to join us to develop your Self-Empathy skills at the upcoming Self-Empathy Intensive March 27th - 30th. Can't make the Intensive? You can also work on your Self-Empathy skills in Mentoring and Coaching Sessions, Practice Groups and Custom Training events.

With Love and Gratitude,
