Empathy - for ourselves & others

We will talk about what empathy means to each of us. For example discuss how empathy is different from sympathy, agreement, or problem-solving.

When have you felt deeply understood by someone? How do you typically speak to yourself when things go wrong?
Would you speak to a friend the same way? What gets in the way of self-compassion?

• What does healthy self-empathy look like without becoming self-indulgent?

This isn’t about becoming more “assertive” or learning a perfect script—it’s about listening to ourselves and learning to honour our needs, one boundary at a time.

Who this is for:✔️ You often find it easier to be accepting and forgiving of others, but can be very self-critical...
✔️ You want to learn to be kinder to yourself
✔️ You’re looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to reflect, share, and grow
