What are some ways to be more empathetic to clients and to be able to actually communicate empathy better? Obviously it doesn’t come natural since I didn’t grow up with empathetic parents and I’ve don’t my own work around that. I think some of my clients think I just don’t get it or dont understand their problems when I do get it but I can’t seem to always find the words in the moment. I also do EMDR sometimes and need to be more attuned to clients as I tend to miss things. I later think about the session and realize what I didn’t do and can be hard on myself about it. Any suggestions or books I can read or ways to communicate better would be great. I’ve been doing this almost 10 years and it gets harder for me as I get older. TIA

I’ve been on semi glutide 6 months and lost about 20lbs. Recently I had to change pharmacies and got a new vial. After starting the new vial from the new pharmacy I seemed to be sicker more than usual with more nausea and even vomitted one day while brushing my teeth. I was also sensitive to smells and every time I ate i felt bloated and burping and had acid reflux for hours.

Another problem is I have chronic fatigue but the shot makes it 10x worse. I can barely exercise and have no energy to lift weights. I’m afraid to get back to lifting heavier because I feel so tired and weak and may hurt myself lifting because my muscles don’t feel strong.

For context I’m 5’4 and 143lbs. 6 months ago I was 160lbs.

I’m on 25 units.

My Dr seems to just suggest I take the nausea meds he prescribed. He told me to increase my thyroid meds and I felt sicker when I did that. I feel like I can’t get to the bottom of what is going on. Perhaps my protein is too low ? I have a dietician as well but it’s been so hard for me to do anything especially in the 3-4 days after injection.

If anyone has any advice I’d love to know what I can do to still lose a little weight and improve my fatigue.
