Ever been hurting and had someone say, “Just stay positive!” or “Everything happens for a reason?”
Those well-meaning words of comfort probably left you feeling dismissed. Why?
They didn’t convey REAL empathy.
Nobody teaches us what real empathy looks like. That’s why today, I’m bringing you an empathy masterclass– chock full of things I’ve learned over the years as a psychologist.
Listen in as I break down:
- The four components of empathy
- The difference between empathy and sympathy
- Why the impact your words have matters more than your intention
This episode will provide you with the tools you need to “be there” for others in a helpful and comforting way.
