Empathy is the key to bridging the gap in NeuroDiverse and NeuroTypical relationships—but what happens when empathy itself feels out of sync?
In this insightful session, we explore empathy dysfunction and its impact on communication and connection. You’ll discover the Empathy Triad—empathy, context, and conversation—and how these elements shape interactions.
We’ll also introduce the 7-Step Interface Protocol, a practical framework designed to help couples navigate their differences with understanding and clarity.
Whether you’re on the Autism spectrum, a highly empathic individual (EMD Five), or simply looking to strengthen your relationships, this session offers valuable tools to embrace courage, set healthy boundaries, and foster deeper connections.
