1. What is your definition of empathy?

Compose of 3 parts:

    • Ability to perceive another person reality, this is what they’re going through .. put yourself in their shoes (observational + objective)

    • Emotional empathy: Be able to feel and sense the other person’s saying, feeling and projecting

    • What do I do.. What is going to be my response .. Empathy is not passive, you act out of being empathy

2. Your responses bring curiosity in me … What happens if there is absence in empathy? Have you experience that in your life? Tell me a story of an example.

    • Ex-partner example, with a women several years younger than me that which ended disastrously

    • It resulted in constant self-doubting of myself because tehy did not demonstrate empathy.. They did not validate what your perceiving and feeling about a situation .. Am I right to be jealous? Sad ? Apprehensive..

    • I may be take it out of proportion

3. Knowing about empathy would improve relationship. What is in that experience was vivid and valuable to you? Show me a moment in your life that actually shows empathy has worked for you

    • 3rd person point of perspective - witness their conversation from their point of view

P1.

Composed of several parts: first is the ability to perceive the other person's reality. Put yourself in their shoes,

Very observational and quite objective,

Be able to feel what they are feeling (this is really emotional) be able to put words and feelings to what they’re feeling

Third: what is going to be my response, because empathy is not only passive, you act from the place of empathy as well.

(Reflection)Observing the perspective is one, but feeling is something else. You say that there are 3 parts. The third is the action you take.
