Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another and feeling with the heart of another.
Empathy has no script. there is no right way or wrongway tro do it. It's simply listening, holding space withholding judgement , emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message "you're not alone".
It's extremly powerful to hear someone say, "I get you, i understand you. I see why you feel this way". this kind of empathy disarms us.
The great Gift of human beings is that we have the power of Empathy. The Nature of Humanity , it's essence , is to feel another's pain as one's own, and to act to take that pain away. There is nobility in compassion , a beauty in empathy, a grace in forgivness.
Very good!
