Being attentive to others, offering support, and understanding their emotions and needs are essential parts of healthy relationships.<\/strong> However, the line between empathy and excessive involvement can sometimes become blurred. We may take responsibility for others, agree to things that make us uncomfortable, try to “rescue” someone, or remain in interactions that leave us emotionally drained.<\/p>\n How can we remain empathetic without sacrificing our own needs? How can we recognize when support turns into self-sacrifice and challenging communication becomes toxic? And how can we establish boundaries without feeling guilty?<\/strong><\/p>\n The EBA Psychological & Wellbeing Hub<\/strong> invites you to an online lecture dedicated to empathy, personal boundaries, and healthy interpersonal relationships.<\/p>\n Key topics:<\/strong><\/p>\n What empathy is and how it differs from self-sacrifice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Why we tend to take excessive responsibility for others<\/p>\n<\/li>\n How to recognize toxic patterns in relationships and communication<\/p>\n<\/li>\n How to identify when our personal boundaries are being crossed<\/p>\n<\/li>\n How to support others without emotionally exhausting ourselves<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Empathy vs. Self-Sacrifice<\/strong> \u2014 understanding the difference between supporting others and neglecting our own needs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The “Rescuer” Role<\/strong> \u2014 why we feel compelled to solve other people’s problems and take on unnecessary responsibility<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Toxic Interactions<\/strong> \u2014 warning signs to look out for and why they can be difficult to recognize<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Personal Boundaries<\/strong> \u2014 how to identify boundary violations and learn to protect our personal space<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Feelings of Guilt<\/strong> \u2014 why guilt arises when we say “no” or prioritize our own needs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Healthy Empathy<\/strong> \u2014 how to be there for others without losing ourselves in the process<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n A clearer understanding of the differences between empathy, helping others, and self-sacrifice<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n The ability to recognize unhealthy and toxic patterns of interaction<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Greater awareness of personal reactions and the reasons why setting boundaries can be challenging<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Practical approaches to establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Tools for preserving emotional energy and personal wellbeing when interacting with others<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This lecture will be particularly useful for those who:<\/p>\n Frequently interact with others and often find themselves in a supportive role<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Tend to take on more responsibility than necessary<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Feel guilty when saying “no” or prioritizing their own needs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Want to better understand their personal boundaries and build healthier relationships<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Strive to remain empathetic without becoming emotionally exhausted<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Date:<\/strong> October 23, 2026 <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Being attentive to others, offering support, and understanding their emotions and needs are essential parts of healthy relationships.
