Melisa interviews Patricia notes by Velina
Patricia really liked the empathy circle. Patricia noticed that Velina is using more emotions and that she is just straight forward and wants to have more emotions. Feels that when she does the listening she wants to understand the feelings not just facts. Melissa thinks she is in the same situation. They both feel they can improve on this process. I see the two of them sharing that they are having the same experience with doubts about doing the listening right.
It’s helping Patricia a lot to listen to how to feel into the experience of the sharing rather than just the parroting. Patricia felt like I was giving her a lot of encouragement and that felt good but doesn’t feel she is giving as much back and wants to learn and grow in the process.
Patricia notices that she needs to learn to give herself more empathy.
She thinks that the group needs to be on the same page...ex with the time of the class.
She would like to see more organization and clarity in the events calendar. There was confusion and maybe too many sources for information. And we need to consolidate and streamline
