Maintaining a healthy self-other distinction 4. Regulating your susceptibility to embodied sharing By the end of this course, you will be able to: · Understand why we naturally adopt the feelings and behaviors of others · Gain insight into your own tendencies to adopt the feelings and behaviors of others — and learn how to manage them · Tell the difference between your genuine feelings and actions versus those you have adopted from others · Read the mental states of others by noticing the emotions and behaviors you have adopted from them · Recognize through mimicry and affective and behavioral contagion when people are trying to connect, pull away, collaborate, or compete · Make sense of social dynamics like status, preferences and decision-making authority through subtle mirroring cues · Understand how shared emotions and behaviors shape your own experiences · Navigate cultural differences in emotions and social behavior more smoothly through mirroring · Positively influence the behavior of others through non-confrontational embodied sharing of emotions and behavior The components that guide your learning: 2 Videos 1 Theory exercise (learning retention) 2 Preparation exercises (establishing a baseline) 3 Observation exercises 3 Practice exercises 2 Evaluation exercises (assessing your learning progress) Your time commitment for the course: · The course takes about 8 hours to complete, but you can go at your own pace. · You will have access to the course for 12 months from the date you enroll, so there’s plenty of time to learn, practice and revisit the material.
