Empathy and Self-Care: Understanding the Magnitude of Managing Feelings in Relationships
Description
Taylor Swift's song "Anti-Hero" highlights the power of empathy and its importance in managing feelings and relationships. Empathy can be divided into two primary types: cognitive and emotional. Cognitive empathy is understanding someone else's perspective, while emotional empathy is feeling their emotions. Self-reflection is essential to setting realistic expectations and understanding the type of empathy appropriate for a given situation. Cognitive empathy allows us to seek understanding without sacrificing our mental health. It is important to prioritize self-care when practicing empathy, as it is not always possible to be empathetic. Empathy is essential for creating a psychologically safe workplace and fostering healthier relationships. Empathy is a superpower that can help inspire change and create a better world.
Let's discuss if/when/how empathy should be used to manage our relationships and inspire change.
