Empathy Masterclass

Date: 8 Dec 2021 - 17 Dec 2021

Online

This training on Empathy Skills offers a framework for understanding the empathic process and the wide range of empathic responses. After initial practice in the core skill of empathic resonance, we will focus on the five most important types of empathy and the therapist responses associated with these types of empathy: Empathic Understanding, Empathic Evocation, Empathic Exploration, Process Empathy, and Empathic Conjecture. Each of these will be concretely illustrated by a video or live demonstration, with opportunities for skill practice for each.

This workshop is derived from the practice of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and would be suitable for therapists who have little or no exposure to this framework.
