Por que ainda almejamos uma conexão emocional genuína | Shalini Sharma | TEDxDIS Riverside Youth

Podemos alcançar qualquer pessoa, em qualquer lugar e quase a qualquer hora, mas uma conexão emocional genuína ainda pode parecer difícil de encontrar. Esta palestra do TEDx, apresentada pela psicóloga conselheira Dra. Shalini J. Sharma, examina a diferença entre a comunicação constante e a sensação de ser realmente visto, ouvido e compreendido. Ela considera por que relações significativas exigem mais do que acesso digital, com destaque para empatia, vulnerabilidade, presença e a disposição de conectar-se além da superfície.
