A facilitator learns through the inner companionship of people who are important to him. By identifying with real, but also with fictitious persons, he emotionally takes their place and experiences what they experience in almost the same way. Even complex events are transformed into his own experiences in this way. Helpful for this emotional “copying” are stories and metaphors (imagination, intuition).

Each basic need has a particular way of learning.

For learning, the empathy need means: I like to make myself comfortable. I like to incorporate the content to be learned into my experienced or invented stories. Sometimes I use quiet, meditative music to relax. Suggestopedia uses similar ways, I think. In any case, my learning thus becomes an inner event in which all feelings participate. I leave it to my unconscious, that is, to the personality parts or dream instances, to internalize new knowledge. I enter a situation inwardly, experience what happens or could happen and intuitively find the answers. I learn most easily through stories that I can make come alive within me.
