TOPICS
Connection - Emphatic connection is an understanding of the heart in which we see the beauty in the other person, the divine energy in the other person, the life that's alive in them.
Realizing Empathy - Empathy is a quality of attention in the presence of which connection, healing and understanding naturally thrive. The presence of empathy very often changes the kind of decisions and actions we take.
Expressing with Honesty - “Just be yourself” is a simple phrase for a very difficult task. Honesty is an expression grounded in awareness of the four basic components of NVC model: what I am observing, feeling, needing and requesting in this moment. Honesty is the complement of empathy.
Anger - Anger is an emotional reaction related to one's interpretation of what someone or something should or should not be, say or behave the way they are being, saying or behaving. However, making decisions while angry might prompt a desire to punish, which disconnects as a result. Anger is an ‘expensive emotion’ that blocks empathy.
