Empathic Listening - A fundamental of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
TRF's webinar series is constantly evolving and changing.
Join our monthly sessions with new research continually introduced!
The workshop will start with reviewing the dictionary definition of empathy, which is confusing at best and leads to alienation at worst. Don’t lose hope. We will introduce an empathic listening exercise that is simple and yet so profound as to be life changing; you'll be the judge.
Relating empathically has to do with a willingness to listen without giving unrequested advice, preaching, analyzing, prying, diagnosing, etc. All humans are conditioned by their environment, their home life, and their community. Thus, the brain becomes a record of the past. These memories shape our behavior and our interactions with others.
When something happens in our outer world that has a strong emotional charge, the brain takes a snapshot of it, which is called a memory. In neuroscience, there is a process when neurons that fire together wire together creating new neural pathways. There is also a process called pruning, which results in the uncoupling of established neural connections. In this webinar, we will do a simple practice that can prune neural connections that are in the way of care, kindness, and compassion.
Neurons are nerve cells that are electrically charged, and you will get a delightful jolt out of seeing the power of listening, really listening.

The mission of TRF is to introduce respectful communication skills by introducing the fundamentals of Nonviolent Communication, which can empower individuals to articulate their needs and feelings without blame and judgment, and to listen empathically. This work allows individuals to thrive and improve their behavioral, academic, and life outcomes. We envision a nationwide movement that establishes relationship education as a core component of the learning process, creating a climate of empathic human connection. Through our work, we introduce a communication skillset so that organizations and schools can thrive and flourish, and where students (and adults) feel safe and the school to prison pipeline can diminish.
