SELF-EMPATHY AS BASIS FOR BUILDING RESILIENCE – online workshop

29 March 2022 @ 3:00 pm5:00 pm CEST

Free

Date: 29 March, 3-5pm CEST
Location: Zoom
Language: English

Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, there is a huge need to help and support those in need. There are many things which should be done as fast as possible, many requests for help and burning issues to get engaged in right now. Maybe you are wondering in the midst of all of that how you can take care of yourself? You have probably heard it before: “Put your oxygen mask first before you assist others”. But how to do it?

We invite you to take part in this workshop in which you will learn how not to get lost and how to take care of your own resources. You will get to know the concept of self-empathy based on NVC and see how empathy towards yourself helps you be present in the moment, understand yourself and your motivations better and make conscious decisions. 

Self-empathy supports us to have empathy for others. The less empathy we have for ourselves, the less empathy we can have for others. Self-empathy and awareness help us to give in freedom and not because we are obliged to do it. 

This workshop covers:

  • concept of self-empathy as basis for self-care and empathy for others
  • 4 step model of non-violent communication
  • reflection on daily situations, exchange and practical exercises
  • simple tools for understanding your emotions, motivations and needs in everyday life
  • simple tools to take care about your own resources and to make conscious decisions

The workshop is for you if:

  • you wonder whether you have the right to take care of yourself in the current situation
  • you feel it is difficult/impossible to take care of yourself while helping others
  • you feel anxious and constantly distracted by emerging calls for help
  • you want to take care of your own resources
  • you wish to give others your full attention and presence
  • you want to learn how to take care about yourself on a daily basis
