Making A Better Relationship – With Empathy
“If you have ever been in counselling or have studied even the most basic level of counselling, you may know about empathy, if you have no experience of empathy then you may use it in your day to day life without even realising it. So what is it?
What is Empathy?
There are countless versions of what empathy is, I like this one:
When we are being empathic, we are really attempting to walk in some-one else’s shoes, trying to experience their world as they do. We instinctively feel the anger when we see a news bulletin of an attack on a helpless individual or how someone who is grieving may be feeling at the loss of a loved one, these are empathic feelings.”
