Description
We are deeply social beings, and we are wired for connection: The longest longitudinal study ever conducted by Harvard shows that the number one predictor of health and happiness is good human relationships. Self-awareness and empathy are deeply connected since they involve the same neural networks. Therefore, developing a good understanding of our own emotions will allow to better connect with others.
In this workshop, we will explore the importance of human connection for our health and well-being, and the 3 stages of human connection: Distancing, Empathy and Compassion. We will deep dive into the 2 types of empathy, their neural basis, and how excessive empathy can lead to empathic distress and distancing. We will also explore how to move from empathy to compassion and how compassion can protect us from empathic distress. Empathic distress is a key concern for professionals such as coaches who tend to absorb other people’s emotions. Learning how to handle these emotions with a caring approach is critical for your own and your clients’ emotional balance.
