Empathy is one of the therapist’s most important—and sometimes most taken-for-granted—therapeutic tools. Yet, it’s often misunderstood, both conceptually and in terms of application and technique.
This workshop will clarify what empathy is (and isn’t), how to achieve a deep empathic connection, and the two distinct modes of verbally empathizing: the conventional “You” mode and the more specialized “Identification” mode. Participants will have the opportunity to practice the specialized identification mode of empathy.
Learning Objectives
Conceptualize empathy with clarity.
Explain the differences between the two different modes of verbal empathy.
Describe how to effectively teach empathy skills to clients.
Target Audience: Social Workers, LCPCs, and Psychologists, anyone interested in the topic.
