Hypnotize Me

*Trigger warning: About midway through this interview, we spend about 3 minutes discussing a client mentioned in the book that was not nice to animals. I give the verbal trigger warning along with a gong sound at RT 24:10. If you like, you can then fast forward to RT 29:00. Dr. Douglas Flemons, author of "Empathetic Engagement in Clinical Practice" as well as six other books, joins us on the podcast to talk about empathy and how to develop more of it. We talk about: Empathy vs Sympathy Empathy as a choice What happens when empathy breaks down in our relationships How to increase empathetic ability while holding onto your own values and self-identity Hypnosis as an empathetic experience Dr. Douglas Flemons is a psychotherapist, emeritus professor, and author of books on writing, hypnosis and therapy, psychotherapy and Eastern philosophy, and suicide assessment.
