Empathy is also called empathy, emotional transfer and empathy. Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Empathy is "touching feelings" and "knowing people's feelings". It is the ability to share others' feelings, empathize with others' situations and objectively understand and analyze others' feelings. Empathy can take many forms. Empathy is developed on the basis of emotional self-cognition, and we must first face our own emotions. The more honest we are, the more accurate we will be in studying other people's emotional feelings.
Psychological counselors' methods of coping with empathy
1, holding consulting settings.
The consultation setting provides a limited space for consultants and visitors, in which visitors can bear the pressure of internal work and disconnect external intervention. Give tourists enough sense of security to explore those unsafe things, especially the defense mechanism they have built and maintained all their lives. When sexual empathy occurs, visitors hope to get more from the counselor, perhaps for a short time, or send a few messages unrelated to counseling.
Step 2 put up with your emotions
While insisting on consulting settings, consultants may fall into reflection and try to find a balance between a stable consulting framework and humanity or flexibility. Even sometimes my own anti-empathy will come out, maybe it is disgust, maybe it is to respond to love with love. When dealing with sexual empathy, it may cause anxiety, confusion, disgust and condemnation of psychological counselors. Only when psychological counselors handle their emotions well can they keep thinking and neutrality in consultation.
3. Explore empathy in a neutral way.
Empathy is related to the root of the client's infancy, and the counselor and the client should take this empathy as a link. While keeping this bond intact and active, both counselors and interviewers go back to childhood along this bond to explore the important relationship between subject and object at that time. Seeing the disappointed and injured children inside, I took Ta's hand and took Ta out of the dark with me, striding towards a better life.
