Empathic Intervision Standards of Practice
The program teaches both general facilitation skills as well as the facilitation skills specific to the five Integrative Empathy aspects:
- With Self-empathy you learn to be comfortable with the expression of emotions while maintaining neutral emotions yourself.
- In Kinesthetic empathy you learn observation skills, work with non-verbal cues and create group cohesion using physicality rather than thought.
- In Reflective empathy you learn to play with the rules of empathic listening. This includes how to guide a group to hold a space for everyone to express themselves and be heard.
- In Imaginative empathy you learn skills to distil perspectives as well as acknowledge their value and encourage diversity. This includes skills to suspend judgment and encourage others free from your own projections, values, norms and opinions.
- In Empathic creativity you learn to guide a group to gather insights. You will also be able to ensure that behavioural change potential is actionable.
