Our goal is to create a quality of empathic connection that allows everyone's needs to be met.

To be able to hear our own feelings and needs and to empathize with them can free us from depression.

If you have an image of someone cutting off a relationship, it's the cutting off that will lead to your suffering. If you see the action as their need being expressed, then the message is within them, not you. Any interpretation you put onto another person's message (such as passive-aggressive, withholding, etc.), you will pay for because of how you took it.

When our communication supports compassionate giving and receiving, happiness replaces violence and grieving.

My anger tells me firstly that there's a need of mine that's not getting met.

As long as I think I 'should' do it, I'll resist it, even if I want very much to do it.

Staying with empathy we allow speakers to touch deeper levels of themselves.
