What is empathy? What is it not?
Empathy is the way we can feel connected, heard, seen, understood, valued, and accepted for who we are. But Empathy can be counter-intuitive…
Our mirror neurons are our superpower for empathy. Yet they can also betray us! We feel uncomfortable when we feel what others are feeling. Most people will try to repress those feelings, or to change how the other is feeling, in order to feel better.
A common confusion generated by the English language is our use of the word “feel” without actually expressing a feeling. And the word “need” without actually expressing a need.
Learn in this episode how society has prevented us from learning how to express Empathy in a satisfying way, and how you can learn this the right way.
Listen in to discover the secret, powerful formula to authentic empathy.
