  18. Dr. Brene Brown on Empathy

  19. Brainstorming Situations Where Empathy Would Have Helped • Think of three situations or conversations that you have had with students where responding with empathy would have helped • Write out 1 per sticky

  20. Validation & Empathy Statements Most students are not looking for advice or problem-solving (unless they specifically ask for it). More often they are seeking validation. Validation is the recognition and acceptance of another person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as understandable

  21. Reflection with Validations • Repeating back the same phrasing used by the student and acknowledging the feeling that was identified • Reflection Statement: “So you’re frustrate because sometimes school work is lame” Frustration is a powerful feeling • Validation w/Empathy Statement:“I know from my school experience that schoolwork can be very frustrating. I imagine that the frustration must be taking a lot of your energy.”

  22. Demonstrate Empathy Through Validation • Using language to demonstrate empathy (but not sympathy) to the student’s feelings • Reflection Statement: “I hear what you are saying. You are feeling misunderstood and that no one listens to you.” • Validation w/Empathy Statement: “I get frustrated when I feel that people aren’t listening to me. Your voice is very important and valuable.”

  23. Validation & Empathy Statements With Your Examples • Repeating back the same phrasing used by the student and acknowledging the feeling that was identified • Reflection statement: “So you’re frustrate because sometimes school work is lame” Frustration is a powerful feeling • Validation w/Empathy Statement: “I know from my school experience that schoolwork can be very frustrating. I imagine that the frustration must be taking a lot of your energy.” • Using language to demonstrate empathy (but not sympathy) to the student’s feelings • Reflection statement: “I hear what you are saying. You are feeling misunderstood and that no one listens to you.” • Validation w/Empathy statement: “I get frustrated when I feel that people aren’t listening to me. Your voice is very important and valuable.”
