Empathy is about hearing others and truly listening and understanding their pain.

Empathy is not, sympathizing or fixing a problem.

Empathy is a meaningful and influential activity. It is a hot topic and can get a bad rap. The bad rap comes in when you make it about yourself. When you turn someone else's conversation into what you've felt, heard or experienced that's similar and that person 'should get over it or move on because all will be OK," you've stepped out of empathy.

Empathy requires you to feel uncomfortable and live in that discomfort but not to take the roller coaster ride of emotions the one sitting across from you is taking on.

Empathy requires practice and patience. Positive outcomes come from being on the giving and receiving end of empathy.
