Wherever you are in your dance of life, you can explore and master it with greater ease and enthusiasm with empathy buddy calls. I am Craig Sones Cornell, a passionate practitioner of Marshall Rosenberg's Compassionate Communication since 2005 and I want to share in what is alive in you right now. Do you hide your fear of emotional commitment behind overwork or depression? Do you live with well concealed inner sadness? Do you sometimes express that sadness in outbursts of anger? Do you long for the connection and self-connection of being truly heard, seen, and known? Do you have unexpressed celebrations and mournings you would love to share one-on-one?

In our era of unprecedented communication technology, why do we so often feel disconnected and alone? Why do we find it so difficult to share or even comprehend our celebrations and mournings, our feelings and needs? In part it is because mechanical and electronic tools do not teach us how to make genuine connection with our own selves and each other. They are not a language of life, just a sophisticated means to an end. During an empathy buddy call, we share together. My focus is on presence, really listening,  I ask you questions and guess your feelings as well as needs and values. You answer from deepening levels of understanding. We may use role playing, guided self-connection, and other techniques. It sounds simple, and in a way it is. It is a powerful dance of heart-to-heart interrelationship.

Don't worry about sharing difficult issues and experiences. I am a licensed minister with the Universal Life Church, a nondenominational, nonsectarian congregation. Our empathy buddy calls are privileged under United States law and my promise to you.

Being your empathy buddy enlivens my profound value of connection, authenticity, well-being, and growth. My mission in life is for my heart to dance through my voice. Will you join me?

There is no substitute for the actual experience of an empathy buddy call with me. An introductory 25 minute session is free so you can test the waters. Call or e-mail me to set up an appointment.
