In this lesson, we discuss empathy. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to genuinely connect with others on an emotional level. While empathy is often touted as an innate human quality, this lesson emphasizes its dual nature—as both a powerful asset in building relationships and a potential source of emotional strain. You'll learn not only the distinct nuances that set empathy apart from sympathy but also how to practice empathy in a way that enhances your interactions while safeguarding your own emotional well-being. With a focus on real-world applications, self-care, and actionable strategies, this lesson aims to make you not just an empathetic listener, but also an effective emotional supporter.
