One of the courses held during Dyarino project for parents is an empathic communication course. This course provides effective access so that instead of fear, guilt, and self-blame, a context is created for empathic relationship in the moment by accepting personal responsibility, through which we can contribute to the richness of our lives and others. This method is also effective even when the other party does not know it. The non-violence communication skills at “a language of life” workshop help us create more satisfying personal relationships, meet the basic needs of the person, the family, the school and the community through enriching living styles, and recover the experiences of previous painful or unsuccessful relationships.

An empathic communication is based on a specific type of communication language and skills that enhances our ability to stay a human in even the most difficult conditions. It helps us to redefine our way of speaking and listening to others, and instead of habitual and automatic reactions, change our terms into an informed response that is based on what we understand, feel and ask. We are advised to express ourselves clearly and sincerely, and at the same time give our attention to others with respect and sympathy. In each interaction, we are in a position to hear the voice of our deeper needs and others’ needs. The empathic communication teaches us to look carefully and be able to choose the behaviors and conditions that affect us. We learn to identify and clearly express the tangible thing we want in a particular situation.
