p>what is your definition or understanding of empathy?
m> in order to get to a solution, to a positive and productive situation, our brain recieves the information through the emotional part of the brain. Until we deal we those emotions, we are not able to get to the next part of the brain, the more rational. Empathy is all about trying to understand the emotions that apply between people concerned so that we can help eachother and get to that rational solution-oriented view. Because if we get trapped in dealing with emotions, we don’t get to solutions, and our brain get hijacked.
The other thing that its important is that you are really trying to help the person, but you are understanding the emotions, without actually agreeing with everything that its being thrown at you, because you have to stay in the rational situation.
