Mary Mackenzie and Raj Gill, Certified NVC Trainer:
In one exercise, Mary Mackenzie demonstrates the difference in ruminating about something that has happened that you don't like versus focusing on what you want. Participants experience the change that occurs when they spend a moment connecting with themselves even though the situation hasn't changed yet. Indeed, it becomes clear in this recording that self-empathy changes how we respond to a situation, rather than changing the situation itself.
The audio includes a quick self-empathy tool that you may use in all situations.
