Episode 35: Perspective
- Practice perspective-taking: This is the act of understanding another person’s point of view by considering their feelings and motivations, and temporarily setting aside your own. It is not necessary to imagine yourself in someone’s situation to understand their perspective. Perspective-taking allows you to grasp how another is feeling without “taking on” those feelings, and is a less stressful method of practicing empathy (Duffy, 2019).
