+ Oxytocin
"Listening empathically creates a feeling of trust, which releases the compassionate hormone Oxytocin, reducing fear and bias and creating a feeling of security. These brain changes promote open communication, giving us access to conditioned emotional learning and enabling us to restructure distorted thinking and reduce stress."
Arthur Ciaramicoli
"Empathy calms the emotional brain so that we can perceive situations and interactions accurately and thoughtfully. With empathy, we produce our own natural stress-reducing chemicals that create calm, focused energy, allowing us to do and be our best."
