Yes, it can get even more challenging.
3. Hold an Empathy Circle with Family or Friends.
Try to facilitate an Empathy Circle with family, friends, etc. before the next Session. You just need to find 3 more participants. Sometimes it is hard to get them to take part. One way is to say you have this assignment for a workshop and it would be a big help to you if they took part. Here Are Some Different Versions of the "How To Empathy Circle" Instructions. http://bit.ly/EC-How

We have paired you up with someone else in the training Cohort.
(Every week we will pair you with a different participant.)
Between now and the next Session, connect with that person. Have a 30 minute mutual support call on Zoom or Skype, etc. Feel free to do it longer if you have the time and inclination.
If schedules don't allow for you to connect.. Don't worry about it, just do your best. You may not be able to connect every week due to scheduling conflict.
Person 1 gets 15 minutes to talk about their experience in the training while Person 2 empathically listens (i.e. reflects back what the speaker is saying.
Talk about:
·What is your experience so far in the training?
·What are your concerns, expectations, etc.?
·Or just talk about what is alive for you?
Then switch roles and Person 2 talks for 15 minutes and Person 1 empathically listens.
