EMPATHY: THE PSYCHOTHERAPIST'S ESSENTIAL TRAVEL COMPANION
A beautiful new short film that perfectly represents empathy as the ability to "see and hear" others. Psychotherapy is a journey.
As with every journey, there always is a beginning. What is it?
It starts to see and feel your patient and keep him company, we accompany him in the exploration of his inner world.
The therapist “You see” with his own empathetic eye, the patient's emotional experience through the nuances of body posture, facial expression, attitudes and behaviors in relation to the story he tells.
Thethe therapist “he feels” with his own empathic ear, the emotions that accompany both spoken and unspoken words, paying attention to the tone of voice, the rhythm and the hesitation. Mr. Empathy, without you, the journey of psychotherapy could never begin.
It is thanks to the empathic process that the therapist sees, feels and accompanies the patient on the most courageous journey of his life, the one within himself.
Su cosa significhi davvero ascoltare, in seduta e non solo, ho scritto anche in I'm listening to you. E sul valore che l’empatia ha nei rapporti umani in generale, approfondisco in The power of empathy.
L’empatia è lo strumento principale del lavoro clinico: qui trovi come lavoro come psychotherapist in Florence.
