Silent Empathy for the other Person – Irmtraud Kauschat
In a conflict situation, self-empathy is the first step to connecting with myself and creating the capacity to reach out to the other party by self-expression or receiving them with empathy. At times, my capacity to receive the other person with empathy is not yet enough. I found it helpful to try to empathize with the person first in silence to check my capacity for receiving them. I invite you to explore this process in an exercise.
