The Evolution of Empathy

Methodical Empathy with Psychophonetics

Empathy is a new word for a new human faculty: you will not find it in any dictionary in the world before 1951, when it was first published by Carl Rogers. It became international within 2 years, because we needed it: the instinctive, traditional, habitual, group-based ability to understand each other stated to fall apart. We invented empathy to replace it.

It is an evolving baby in human evolution: needed by everyone – rarely available. It has to be cultivated consciously and methodically.

7 different kinds of empathy already exist in the world today, 3 illusionary, 3 real, and one being the turning point between the two:
• Illusionary Empathy – 1) projective; 2) intellectual; 3)manipulative. • The turning point: 4) Self-Empathy.
• Real Empathy – 5) Perceptive Empathy; 6) Transformative Empathy; 7) Enabling Empathy.

This 3 hours seminar – including a demonstration of Psychophonetics session – will outline, define and characterise these 7 kinds of empathy, outline the stages of Methodical Empathy (real empathy), and explain how we develop empathy methodically in Psychophonetics professional training.

Our approach will be introduced and demonstrated in this seminar.

Why Psychophonetics

Psychophonetics is a process of waking up to one’s own internal dynamics, empathising with them, understanding them, and creating a new ‘self-order’ inside. It makes it possible to explore, empower and mobilise the deep resources that we bring with us into earthly life.
