Following on from the last episode Empathy With My Enemies, I ask the question what supports empathy? How can we be more empathic.
To help me answer this question I’ve roped in a special guest – psychotherapist, Buddhist priest and writer of novels and self-help books, Satya Robyn.
Satya also happens to be married to me, and we co-run the temple here in Malvern.
We talk about the therapy/client relationship, emapthy in friendships and how spiritual experience can support empathy.
Apologies for the slightly echoey audio in the conversation. I had a one microphone set up and as we were different distances from the mic you could hardely hear Satya on the recoding 🙁 I fiddled around for ages to get the levels right, but there were some unwanted side effects. I’m still learning!
You can find Satya online (including details of her books) at www.satyarobyn.com
