Only empathy allows us to listen through the words of people with an unbiased, open attitude and to see through their behavior. It enables us to penetrate the superficial until we reach the life-pulsating essence: straight to the heart. This book attempts to show how self-empathy can be practiced. The individual components (observation, feelings, needs, requests) are therefore presented in detail. A key focus of the book is on how people can recognize their feelings. Readers will also receive tips on how to intensify or alleviate their feelings. Another focus is on perceiving needs and meeting those needs through practical strategies. Finally, readers will find guidance for the entire process of self-empathy.
