Maturing, Experiential and Qualitative ‘Heart’ Empathy: Depth of Pain

The more broken the wider the gap between being the giver of empathy and receiving empathy.  The deeper the pain the more confusing to others.

Maturing, Experiential and Qualitative ‘Heart’ Empathy: Broken Families

When your own family is broken your conflict and pain creates a wisdom unknown to those in families remaining a whole family whether a child or parent.  The depth of your empathy and wisdom deepens with separation experiences beyond those who remain but looking in through the window.

Maturing, Experiential and Qualitative ‘Heart’ Empathy: understanding your parents

When you nurture your own children, empathy for your parents deepens and you transition from child to parent.

Not living with the responsibility of  children you likely remain the child and  wisdom from the integration cycle, past and future,  is interrupted.  Knowing is learned and not lived.  Missing is the joy and pain of parenting and a shared reality with your parents.   Healing the child within comes easier with a child of ones own through the dawning of understanding and acceptance.

Renee began to recognize the connection between environment and relationships when she had a design consultation business in the mid nineties.  On consultations she noticed how the environment told the story of the person, couple, family or organization.  There was a noticeable connection in the story, motivation, confidence, empowerment and success.  Find out how to begin to maximize your own story for future success.
