Ella holds a bachelor's in English Language and Literature, a Master's in TEFL, and an NLP practitioner certificate. She speaks English and Romanian fluently, gets by in French and German, and is forever working on her Chinese. Now a mom of two in Shanghai, she remains deeply rooted in education, with a strong focus on cross-cultural awareness, but her curiosity doesn't stop there. She's equally drawn to other kinds of awareness: psychological, emotional, and even spiritual. Her ongoing explorations span psychology, neuroscience, healing, wellness, philosophy, spirituality, quantum physics, astrology, and channelling. She continues to train in and experiment with approaches like NVC, NLP, Mindfulness, Self-Inquiry, and HeartMath, always refining what works best. She can't wait to share and try these with you, especially if you're a kindred spirit looking to connect with yourself and others in a deeper, maybe different, way.
Empathy is well past being a buzzword, it's now...
Empathy is well past being a buzzword, it's now long settled into different people’s psyches and yet most of us still don't seem to get it or use it. And, of course, we’re not even aware of that because we often don’t know what we don’t know. So, how empathetic do you feel you are? How do you even know if you've received or given real empathy? _x000D_

Let’s explore what empathy really is deeply. What is its relationship with compassion and sensitivity? What exactly are the elements that do and undo empathy? To help us get there, get there we’ll watch a few excerpts from talks by the great Brené Brown and we'll practice some NVC (Nonviolent Communication). Brené Brown is one of the most qualified people as an emotions researcher, and NVC is one of THE best tools and models out there to truly get good at this whole empathy thing. Let's have a deep and meaningful discussion!_x000D_

同理心早已不再只是一个流行词,它已经深深植入不同人的心理,但我们中的大多数人仍然似乎不了解或使用它。当然,我们甚至没有意识到这一点,因为我们通常不知道我们不知道的东西。那么,你觉得自己有多同理心?你如何知道自己是否真正给予或接受了同理心?_x000D_

让我们深入探讨什么是真正的同理心。它与同情心和敏感性有什么关系?究竟是什么因素构成了同理心,又是什么因素破坏了同理心?为了帮助我们理解这一点,我们将观看一些由Brené Brown讲述的片段,并实践一些非暴力沟通(NVC)。Brené Brown作为情感研究者是最有资格的人之一,而NVC则是掌握同理心的最佳工具和模型之一。让我们进行一次深刻而有意义的讨论吧!
