In this episode, Kat discusses the concepts of empathy and compassion and how they relate to healing family dynamics. She explains that as children, we often take on our parents' pain and trauma out of love, but it's important to give it back to them in order to find healthy separation and love. Kat shares a story of a client connecting with her deceased mother through Family Constellation Therapy (FCT) and how her mother wanted to take back the pain she caused to help her daughter heal. She also explores the difference between empathy and compassion and how they can be used to create deeper connections with others. In this conversation, Kat discusses the importance of empathy and compassion in healing family dynamics. She explains that empathy allows us to depersonalize the actions of others and understand their experiences, while compassion allows us to embrace them in their fear and hold space for them without judgment. Kat emphasizes that healing is a journey between empathy and compassion, and that embracing compassion can lead to ultimate freedom and liberation from the pain and trauma of the past. She also shares her personal experiences with empathy and compassion, and how they have transformed her relationships.
