How to Improve Empathy at Work

Personal Growth, Spirit

Empathy, which is the ability to understand other people’s emotions and what they’re thinking or feeling, is a powerful tool for building relationships and creating meaningful connections at work. Empathy allows employees to foster a sense of unity with one another, which in turn fosters productivity and increases employee satisfaction.

Domestic Abuse – Spot the Warning Signs Before It is Too Late

Family, Healing, Life, Spirit

There is a special anniversary this year. It is already 30th year that we are celebrating the Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. The tradition, started by National Resource Centre on Domestic Violence, is a well-established one and many people are finally talking openly about this issue.  However, domestic abuse is still an epidemic that does not show signs of slowing down. We simply know much more about it now than we did 30 years ago.

It is quite shocking, that while the term “domestic abuse” is thrown around a lot in media and public debates, many abuse victims are completely unaware that they are being abused and many abusers are ignorant that they are doing it. That is why it is crucial to educate young women and men about these destructive behavioral patterns and try to break them.

How Mindfulness-Based Therapy Helped Me with Schizophrenia

Mindfulness

Imagine hearing a chorus of voices inside of your head at any given time of the day. Whether magnanimous or menacing, this group of voices can disrupt productive thoughts and daily activity. Furthermore, imagine that no one else can hear these voices, but you and that other people respond with fear or pity when you cry out for help. While it may sound like the plot of a horror movie, this condition is the reality for people with paranoid schizophrenia.

In my journey to treat chronic schizophrenia, I have encountered numerous hurdles, including anxiety attacks, stress problems, disrupted relationships, and negative reactions to psychiatric medication. Often, I believed that there was no answer, and I would need to simply accept the negative effects of hearing voices. Fortunately, my condition began to slowly improve with the discovery of mindfulness-based therapies and writing about personal and other paranoid schizophrenia stories.
