Empa-Tea

Divorce rates continue to rise in China. We want to prevent this from happening in the US by offering affordable empathy sessions with families in need. Reach out for a free consult to learn more about Empa-Tea and our conflict management services.

Empa-Tea requires Empathizers to have a familiarity with Non Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. The CEO of Microsoft also makes sure his senior staff are familiar with Marshall Rosenberg’s book and Satya required them all to learn the language of non violent communication.

We all want to give to others and to do so because it is enjoyable for us. When we give out of fear of punishment or humiliation, we experience great pain. On one hand, we want to give, but not when it is expected of us.

Try to give for the beauty of giving. Try to receive so that others may give. This is a continual challenge that we hope to work on as we deepen our empathy practice.

This quote really speaks to the difference between Empath*ology and the diagnostic model. Empath*ology looks to the root causes of our distress. When a need is not being met, we believe as Manfred Max Neef believes, that life will be less than wonderful. You might even experience pathologies according to Neef.

Are you struggling to find health promoting food? Struggling to pay rent? Unable to exercise as much as you would like? Not able to get sunlight during the day? These are fundamental human needs (food/shelter/water/sun) and without them satisfied on a regular basis, we begin to feel ill.

Diagnostic models like the DSM look at the symptoms and create diagnostics and use evidence to find the best way to treat symptoms. Oddly it is rarely the goal of practitioners of the DSM to address causes in the environment and work on understanding those before advising treatment. We don’t advise specific treatment but we do hope to unearth the roots, help you to examine the soil and assess what amendments could be added to help your tree flourish!

Book a session today if you’re seeking empathy on your path to growth 🌱

We aren’t saying that one way is better than the other, only that we see great benefit to listening and hearing for unmet needs you might have. These needs we believe are the roots, and the soil. With poor soil health and roots that don’t support the tree, it can be hard to have healthy branches and leaves.

Thanks to for so many tree analogies. Come for a walk and make your own tree analogies as we Empathize with you in the forest 🌲🌲🌳🌳

💧💧The Need for Water💧💧

If your need for water is not met, we believe that your day to day experience might be less fun than if you were properly hydrated.

Your levels of hydration can impact your performance in school, your relationships with those you care about, and even your ability to enjoy your Empa-Tea session.

To help meet this need for water, you get a free health-promoting tea with every Empa-Tea session. Choose from a variety of herbal teas to help you feel great and function as effectively as you can 😊

Hopefully these water filled photos from Athens, GA can remind you to take a break, take a sip, and enjoy your day today!

💚💵$5 off for the Wren💵💚

If you hear that little bird above “LOVE” drawn wonderfully by then you will get a $5 discount on your next session. You do not even have to hear the Carolina wren in a session to get the discount. As soon as you hear that bird say “tea kettle, tea kettle, tea kettle” you can get a recording of it on your phone and email it to [email protected]

It just so happens that February 15th is backyard bird count, and you could help gather data and get a session for $5 off😁

The Carolina wren reminds us that we can get Empathy and free health-promoting tea right here in Athens, GA. You can also get the service online with certain Empathizers!

If the wren spoke English, I think it would be saying, “I think Empa-Tea is the most fun, and least costly option for understanding and relaxation in Athens, and probably the whole east coast. They provide 1-on-1 and group empathy for prices that cannot be beat! Thanks for meeting my needs Empa-Tea!”

I’m not quite sure if that’s what the bird said, but it’s what I like to think 😅

🌳Doing the Improbable🌳

Sometimes we are going through things that make absolutely little sense to us. We find strength in places that others think would be too risky to go after. People might tell this tree, “you’re crazy, don’t you realize you need deep soil with good organic matter to grow? You know, the studies show that good soil builds a good tree!” At Empa-Tea we do not claim to know the best strategy for you. Sure there are studies out there, but how could we possibly know the best decision for you, or for this tree? Would you believe that a tree could grow like this and still have a great life? It’s the same thing with humans.
Sometimes we pick strategies that the whole world seems to question, yet it meets our needs in such a miraculous way.

Empathizers are liberated by the fact that we will never claim to know what is right for you. All we do is help to put your situation of conflict into a system of thinking that can allow you to find strategies that meet your needs!

Don’t be afraid to be like this tree. Take chances that others question, it just might turn into something amazingly beautiful and unique that people start to emulate and enjoy! 🌿🌱🌴🌳🌲
