Hello TIPS listeners! Join Ashlie and Gilbert as they chat with Dr. Bill and Dr. Kristi Gaultiere, founders of Soul Shepherding and authors of their newly released book, Deeply Loved. The Gaultieres share profound insights into how empathy serves as oxygen for the soul, highlighting its crucial role in personal healing and fostering deep relationships. They delve into the unique concept of three-way empathy, emphasizing the importance of self-empathy and the powerful integration of Christ-centered spirituality with psychology. Listeners will discover how to combat empathy fatigue by setting Biblical boundaries and will also receive practical guidance through the four A's of empathy —Ask, Attune, Acknowledge, and Affirm—equipping everyone to help others feel truly loved by God. Let's get started!
