Empathy not sympathy

Empathy not sympathy Empathy SympatheticPut you're not in others? S shoes, but not walk the road to themIsn? VfB is not a good idea? Oh you poor. What has happened is just terrible! You must feel very bad. I wish there was something I could do. These words sound familiar? Perhaps you? I used a friend or relative who has suffered a back fracture, or perhaps you? I listened to you a good friend, in the sense that when something goes wrong for you. How are the words that are generally expressed by well-meaning people, in the form of? Solidarity? someone to care about. But imagine you hear these words now. How do you feel? Dear friends, beware the power? O helpless victims, and simply evil? Despite the sympathy gesture is a socially acceptable, I suggest to stop using and accepting others. No? O help. Empathy is a much higher expression. Both explain.Sympathy or empathy? So what? And the difference between sympathy and empathy? Sympathy, although of great value to our culture, can be very disempowering. Perspective tends to be nice place to comparison with others, is a position that may seem something similar? Oh you poor, it is terrible, what? S happens to you. This behavior on your part that really limited world view of a victim of exploitation of a mood, and is less likely to help them go to a good resolution of their problem.On other hand, from a perspective empathy, to understand what the other is heard but not necessarily? go there? with them. On the other hand, considered able to work through the problem. If someone in empathy for the pain, you might say something similar? My feeling is that you? You're evil now. There is something you need or can offer any support to help you through this? This is a position of understanding and responsibility for achieving the necessary assistance in the hands of the person who needs it. Do not give up!

Instead, the trust that have the inteal resources to solve their problems and to get the help they need to move forward. Felt their feelings, express their worries, their tears and shed. Do not try to fix something for them. Just be with them with an open heart and an interior and exterior of the certainty that your?
