Empathy (共情，同感) is one of the most important elements in creating harmonious relationships, reducing stress, and enhancing emotional connection-yet it can be tricky at time
31、s. I consider myself to be quite empathetic, but notice that with certain people (especially those I dont like or agree with, and also with myself at times) and in particular situations, my natural ability and desire to empathize can be diminished or almost non-existent.B. I also notice that when I
32、feel empathy for others and for myself, I feel a sense of peace, connection, and perspective that I like. And when there is an absence of empathy in a particular relationship, situation, or in how Im relating to myself, I often experience stress, disconnection, and negativity. Can you relate?What is
33、 empathy?C. Empathy is not sympathy. When were sympathetic, we often pity someone else but maintain our distance (physically, mentally, and emotionally) from his or her feelings or experience. Empathy is feeling that we can truly understand, relate to, or imagine the depth of another persons emotion
34、al state or situation. It implies feeling with a person, rather than feeling sorry for a person. And in some cases. That “person“ is actually us.D. Empathy is a translation of the German term einfuhlung, meaning “to feel as one with. “ It implies sharing the load or “walking a mile in someone elses
35、shoes“ in order to understand that persons perspective.What stops us from empathizing?E. There are a number of things that get in the way of our utilizing and experiencing the power of empathy. Three of the main reasons, which are all interrelated, are as the following.F. Feeling threatened: When we
36、 feel threatened by another person or a particular situation, its often hard to empathize. This makes perfect sense from a survival standpoint (i.e., if someone is trying to hurt us. we want to protect ourselves, rather than have compassion or understanding for where theyre coming from). However, we
37、 often feel threatened based on our own fears, projections, and past experiencesnot by what is actually happening in the moment or in a particular relationship or situation. Whether the threat is real or imagined, when we feel threatened in any way, it often shuts down our ability to experience empa
38、thy.G. Being judgmental: Judgments are a part of life; we all must make lots of judgments and decisions on a daily basis (what to wear, what to eat, where to sit, what to watch/listen to/read, what to say, and on and on). Making value judgments (the relative placement of our discernment) is essentia
39、l to living a healthy life. However, being judgmental is a totally different game. When were judgmental, we decide that were “right“ and someone else is S6wrong“. Doing this hurts others and us, and cuts us off from those around us; it doesnt allow us to see alternative options and possibilities.H.
40、We live in a culture that is obsessed with and passionate about being judgmental. And many of us, myself included, are highly trained in this destructive and damaging “art“. When were being judgmental about another person, group of people, or situation, we significantly diminish our capacity to be e
41、mpathetic.I. Fear: The root of all this is our fear. Feeling threatened is all about fear. Being judgmental is all about fear. And not feeling, experiencing, or expressing empathy is also all about fear. Theres nothing inherently (固有的) wrong with fear; its a natural human emotionwhich, in fact, has
42、many positive aspects to it, if were willing to admit it, own it, express it, and move through it. Fear saves our lives and keeps us out of trouble all the time. However, the issue with fear is our denial of it, our secret obsession with it, and our refusal to take responsibility for it. We deem thi
43、ngs, people, or situations to be “scary“. In truth, there is nothing in life that is inherently “scary“. There are lots of things, people, and situations that cause fear in us; however, we make it about “them“, instead of owning the fact that the fear comes from within us. When we allow ourselves to
44、 be motivated by fearwhich often leads to our defending ourselves against “threats“, being judgmental, and moreit becomes difficult, if not impossible, to access the power of empathy.J. Where in your life and relationships can you see that your feeling threatened, being judgmental, and experiencing
45、fear stop you from being empathetic? The more willing you are to look at this, acknowledge it, own it, and take responsibility for it (with compassion for yourself), the more able youll be to expand your capacity for empathy.How to become more empathetic?K. There are many things we can do and practi
46、ce to increase our ability to feel, experience, and express empathy for others, situations, and ourselves. Becoming more empathetic is one of the best ways we can enhance our relationships, reduce our stress level, and feel good about ourselves and our lives in an authentic way.L. Here are a few thi
47、ngs you can do and think about to become more.Empathetic:M. Be real about how you feel: When were willing to get real about how we truly feel and have the courage to be vulnerable about it with ourselves and others, we can so often liberate ourselves from the negativity, projections, and judgments t
48、hat mask whats really going on. When were in a conflict with another person or dealing with someone or something thats challenging for us, one of the best ways for us to move past our defensiveness and authentically address the deeper issues of the situation is by being able to admit, own, and express our fear, insecurity, sadness, anger, jealousy, or whatever other negative emotions we are experiencing. Doing this allows us to
