I appreciate all the links posted earlier regarding hormones and am checking them all out. Great information.
Communication and words are powerful tools as well for creating empathy.
I studied with Marshall Rosenberg when he started up in the 80s, and lived here in Santa Barbara. *Founder of CNVC system of communication*
The communication method was an eye-opener.
We don't always realize how our own words, how we form sentences, and how we speak to others affects our own perception. Well, let me speak for myself, I didn't always realize.
Speaking in an empathetic way, non-attacking way, is good for fostering empathy.
I am not sure how communication styles alter brain chemistry or hormones, but plan to look into that.
And I need a refresher course as well. Tools get rusty if not employed.
Thanks for the reminder, I appreciate it.
