Page: “Look at the faces. What is this man feeling? “ One after another tells his own impressions and ideas. 2. Page “Now look at the drawings: “What do the outlined bodies express?” One after another tells his own impressions and ideas. Reflection on our feelings like joy, fear, anger, ….. , that first we feel inside of us, and how these feelings are reflected on our body, face, eyes, gestures, behaviours. Now reflection on our interactions: Verbal communication is not sufficient to understand each other. In addition to words, you need to listen and to understand the emotions of the other person, what he shows us with the tone of his voice, with his body, his face, etc. That means having an empathic ability. Here we also can take up the issue of the axioms of communication. For example, "any communication has a content aspect and an aspect of relationship". > > > Conflicts most often arise on the level of relations.
