Empathy is:
- Letting someone know you see, understand and/or get their feelings
- Showing them you care and are there for them
- Sensing someone else’s emotions, that perhaps you have been there before
- Really listening without making any judgement
- Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes
- Maybe saying things like: “What has this been like for you?” “This must be so hard for you.” “Thanks for sharing with me.” “I am here for you.”
