#EQ #Empathy
Here is a short video from Brene Brown focusing on how we can use empathy to treat others well when they are in pain. Beyond this focused message, the concept of empathy applies to so many other situations that build human connection (and will likely be referenced in many future posts).
hope our kids read this! 
I like this, definitely applicable in my profession. Sometimes I have to not be empathetic though, because putting myself in that dark place day in and day out as I help my patients and my clients is not good for my own soul. Sometimes I have to remain separate and distant as a protective mechanism for myself
Good point! I guess seeing things through their lens might actually start to take on their lens which might not be a lens you would want and could have negative consequences! Yes you still have to protect yourself and make sure that seeing their perspective doesn’t mean becoming their perspective.
