Description
<p>Welcome to another episode in season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod, and an episode on a topic that's SUPER important to me: Empathy. This was brought about by some family friction this recent Christmas (because, duh!). </p><p>I chat about said family friction, how it affected me, and what I realised about myself and my defaults as a result of other people's situations and emotions. And tbh, I wasn't totally happy about it. Moving forward, I'm considering how to adapt my empathy. You'll find out why...</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Themes in the episode:</strong></p><p>-Empathy in relationships of all kinds</p><p>-The different types of empathy (there are 3!)</p><p>-Why too much empathy isn't a good thing</p><p>-Toggling empathy for the right relationships and moments</p><p>-Extending empathy to oneself</p><p>-Compassion vs. Empathy</p><p>-Childhood trauma, coping strategies, and why I am how I am</p><p>-People pleasing</p><p>-Emotional management</p><p>_____________________</p><p>If you prefer a read, check out my resurrected blog: <a href="https://themobilementor.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://themobilementor.blogspot.com/</a> (Lol, let's appreciate the 90s-core website energy!).</p><p><br></p><p>As always, I hope you’re doing as best as you can.
