If our bodies are wired for human connection, empathy is our beating heart. Often thought of as a soft skill, empathy is a superpower that I've learned to wield for good and accept that it's my biggest strength. I think of empathy as more than just stepping into another's shoes it's about feeling with each other to act, if needed. Empathy is responding to the thoughts and emotions of others with the purpose of meeting each other's needs. Shannon McIntyre is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical Psychology at Antioch University New England. Shannon is broadly interested in adult development from attachment-based and psychoanalytic perspectives, as well as psychotherapy process and outcome. Initially, her research interests were geared toward better understanding how stigmatization impacts identity formation in women. More recently, however, Shannon has been focused on the therapist characteristics that facilitate and/or inhibit therapeutic empathy. She has consequently presented at national conferences and co-authored articles related to the empathic process. As a Research Associate at the Program for Psychotherapy, Dr. McIntyre will continue to conduct research on therapeutic empathy, and on topics related to psychotherapy more generally. Rogers contended that therapeutic empathy is best described as a multi-dimensional process, which means being sensitive, moment by moment, to the changing felt meanings which flow in thisother person... and sensing meanings of which he or she is scarcelyaware. Frans Derksen is a Dutch retired Medical Doctor and has a PhD in Empathy in Patient and Physician communication. In this discussion, Frans shares his research on the importance and effectiveness of empathy in healthcare. His conclusion is that specific education about the theory, evidence of empathy and training of specific empathic skills, should be explicitly taught to medial students and residence.

I learned that reflections were incredibly powerful conversational tools. Good Motivational Interviewing therapists are supposed to provide a minimum ratio of two reflections to every question, but ideally four or more per question. I loved reflections. I thought reflections were so great, that I designed years of therapy training and eventually an entire company around teaching people to provide them. Grin Lord Daryl Davisis an African American musician, author, actor, bandleader and a race relations expert. He is well known for his work on dialoguing with, and befriending members of the Ku Klux Klan and other extremist groups. Through dialogue, empathy and understanding he has convinced Klansmen to leave and denounce the KKK. In this dialogue we talked about the role of empathy in Daryl 's work. Daryl describes his process of how to effectively listen to, understand and dialogue with people. It is about not demeaning or attacking people, but about seeing their common humanity. Once you are willing to listen to others, they are more willing to listen to you and engage in constructive dialogue. We also talked about organizing and holding Empathy Circles between different opposing groups. 'You're not going to beat the meanness out of a mean dog. You start beating a mean dog, it's gonna become more mean. You start beating racists, they're gonnabecome more racist. People learn racism through dialogue. Somebody tells them about it. So if you can learn it through dialogue, you can also unlearn it through dialogue. Ryan Lo'Ree, was once a right-wing extremist with the Rollingwood Skins, a Michigan-based offshoot of the largest Nazi movement in the United States. While in the organization, he moved up the ranks quickly to become Vice President. In his role, he was responsible for mainstreaming hate groups on social media. He went through a process of transformation and healing centered around trauma associated with sexual, physical and mental abuse he endured from male family members. He now works with Light Upon Light as Interventionist and Program specialist, contributing to the organization's work on combating polarization, structural injustice, racism, hate, and violent extremism. To classify another human being as less than, is the moment you lose your empathy and the argument. We discussed how to bring people out of extremism with empathy. Empathy does not mean you agree or disagree, or sympathize with someone. It means listening deeply and understanding. It means seeing the common humanity of each other, and that builds connection and healing. The act of empathy is transformational. Rasha Kutty is the founder of the Empathy University.

Terri is author of, Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides. We live in a time when practicing empathy, taking action, and creating change and building trust are more important than ever. Radical Empathy is the core idea that runs through this book. It requires moving beyond walking in someone else's shoes to taking action that will not only help that person but will also improve our society. Practicing radical empathy can provide real change in peoples lives, and I empathize the word practicing - I focus on the fact that having empathy is different from practicing empathy.

Her academic focus is Trust”, as phenomena in different field, as like in social work and educational practice. Eija is coauthor of the study, Qualified Empathy: A key element for an empowerment professional. In this paper, we will describe how teaching and learning to use empathy has been a part of studies for Social Services students. We argue that professional empathy can be approached in multisensory ways when studying empathy. In our case, we have used traditional learning and teaching methods alongside creative methods such as visual arts and drama as ways to learn and teach empathy. If we were committed to developing empathy in our schools and if we demanded empathy from our politicians and from leaders within the corporate world and beyond, then our society would experience the shift from exclusion and fear of differences to a deep appreciation for diversity and also diverse ideas. I recently spoke with Edwin Rutsch, founding director of the Center for Building a Culture of Empathy. He has been working for over 12 years to create a more empathic society. He has interviewed over 200 empathy experts and posted the interviews on his website CultureOfEmpathy.Com. Edwin created a simple and accessible method of learning, practicing and deepening mutual empathy in small groups called Empathy Circles. He uses this method to lessons political, social, family and personal divides. He says he finds Empathy Circles to be the most effective first step or gateway practice for enhancing empathy skills. - Arthur P.Ciaramicoli, The Transformation of Belief:Empathy Circles and Group Practices An Empathy Circle with empathy activists, experts, book authors, etc. exploring different aspects of how to build a more empathic world.

Tania Singer is a social neuroscientist and psychologist at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin, Germany. Her research aims to increase our understanding of the foundations of human social behavior. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, she and her team investigate the neuronal, hormonal, and developmental foundations of human social cognition, social and moral emotions such as empathy and compassion. In this dialogue we discussed the nature of empathy and her studies on different empathy and compassion training types and their benefits. Study Conclusion: Contemplative dyads elicited engagement similar to classical contemplative practices and increased perceived social connectedness. Contemplative dyads represent a new type of intervention targeting social connectedness and intersubjective capacities deficient in participants who experience loneliness and in many psychopathologies. In other words, there are a lot of benefits in people empathically listening to each other. One of the benefits is that it reduces social anxiety about being judged and they feel more connected. This feeling of lower stress and greater connection lasts over time as well.

John Vervaeke, is an award-winning lecturer at the University of Toronto in the departments of psychology, cognitive science and Buddhist psychology. His work is in integrating science and spirituality to solve the meaning crisis. He hosts an extensive Youtube video lecture series entitled, Awakening from the Meaning Crisis and John writes, The Meaning Crisis is at the root of modern crises of mental health, the response to environmental collapse, and the political system. We are drowning in bullshit--literally meaninglessness . We feel disconnected from ourselves, each other, the world, and a viable future. In this dialogue, Edwin Rutsch and John discuss how empathy relates to John's work to solve the meaning crisis. We begin by trying to get a clear mutual understanding on what we mean by empathy. Different Faces of Empathy feelings of similarity disrupt recognition Jacob Israelashvili did his PhD in Social Psychology at Tel Aviv University. His research examines the empathic processes that antecedentunderstanding and caring for others. Jacob recently coauthored a study and paper entitled: Different faces of empathy: Feelings of similarity disrupt recognition of negative emotions. In this interview we talk about that study. Recognition of emotions becomes less accurate when having had similar negative experiences. Personal distress evoked by a negative story inhibits recognition of the storyteller's emotions. Being instructed to take another's perspective does not help to recognize emotions better. Fritz Breithaupt is Provost Professor at Indiana University Bloomington. He founded and directs the Experimental Humanities Laboratory at IU. He is author of the book, The Dark Sides of Empathy. Fritz argues that some of the dark sides of empathy include; self-loss, side taking, identifying with the helper, sadistic empathy and vampiristic empathy. Edwin argues that empathy is light and the so-called dark sides are not empathy, but blocks to empathy. Fritz says (and Edwin agrees) that a benefit of empathy is; Empathy intensifies our experiences and widens the scope of our perceptions. We feel more than we could with-out it, and it enables us to participate more fully in the lives of others, even fictional characters. and Empathy is, of course, a critical factor in healthy long-term relationships, too, making it easier for us to understand our family members or romantic partners and anticipate their emotional needs and reactions. Love without empathy would be a sad thing for most people. Lou Agosta Edwin Rutsch discuss Lou's recent article. 'Compassion Fatigue: A radical proposal for overcoming it.' We talk about the confusion, inaccuracies, myths and misunderstandings about the concepts and experiences of: * Empathy, * Compassion, * Compassion Fatigue, * Empathic Distress, * Empathy Fatigue, * Culture of Empathy. The good news is that empathy serves as an antidote to burnout or compassion fatigue. Note the language here. Unregulated empathy results in compassion fatigue. However, empathy lessons repeatedly distinguish empathy from compassion. Most providers of empathy find that with a modest amount of training, they can adjust their empathic receptivity up or down to maintain their own emotional equilibrium. In the face of a series of sequential samples of suffering, the empathic person is able to maintain his emotional equilibrium thanks to a properly adjusted empathic receptivity. No one is saying that the other's suffering or pain should be minimized in any way or invalidated. One is saying that, with practice, regulating empathy becomes a best practice. Peter Limberg - Empathy Circles 'a good conversational modality for memetic mediators to have in their toolkit.' John Vervaeke - Psychology and Cognitive Science Professor | Integrating science and spirituality to solve the meaning crisis Jason Snyder - I found the Empathy Circle format to be a very useful 'enabling constraint' encouraging a dynamic interplay between co-presence, theory, and embodied/intuitive processing.

In his book, Daniel explores ways of relating to the many converging crises and opportunities faced by humanity at a local, regional and global scale. He invites us to step back from our tendency to want quick-fix solutions. In this dialogue, we talk about the relationship between designing Regenerative Cultures and Cultures of Empathy. We see how they are closely interrelated. Instead of othering and separating from each other, we need to come together with mutual empathy, presence, connection and care to heal the planet and Daniel writes, Spreading the story of why we care about life and the health of the whole and sharing the narrative of interbeing is culturally creative meta-design. By sharing the new and ancient story of interbeing we facilitate the emergence of diverse regenerative cultures scale-linked by empathy and cooperation. is an editor and reporter for a local newspaper in the Washington, D.C. metro area. He wrote an article in the magazine Quillette, titled The Misuse of Empathy Is Devaluing Pain. He had a wide range of criticism of empathy, saying it is; divisive, self-centered, and unhelpful. It makes people take sides in a conflict, supports cancel culture, it leads to tribalism, and temps us into immediacy. Matt feels hopeless that society will change for the better or overcome it's polarization and that it will have to hit a rock bottom before it can change. Edwin listens to and empathizes with Matt and shows how he is misunderstanding the nature of empathy. He explains how the qualities he is criticizing are not empathy, but the blocks to empathy. Doug Noll has been in professional practice for over 40 years. For the past 20 years, he has dedicated himself to understanding the emotional and biological origins of human conflict. With this knowledge, he has developed a set of empathic listening skills that work the first time, every time . He is author of, De-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less Paperback. Doug says: Empathic leadership development is essential for teachers, educators, administrators, and school board members. Without the ability to connect with students and parents quickly and effectively, conflict escalates. Empathic leadership is a skill comprised of three elements: The ability to ignore the words, focus on emotions, and reflect those emotions back The ability to problem-solve specific issues once calm is restored The ability to create a learning environment that is emotionally safe This skills must be learned, practiced and honed to be mastered. Research shows that learning empathic leadership skills will not come from a one-off workshop. Conference: Lawyers for Empathy God and Satan take part in this Restorative Empathy Circle Mediation to work out their differences. For millennium God and Satan have been in conflict with each other. Edwin Rutsch invites them to take part in a Restorative Empathy Circle to use mutual empathic listening to talk out their differences. The opening issue they talk about is that Satan left heaven. An Empathy Circle is a structured dialogue process based on mutual active listening. The process increases constructive dialogue and mutual understanding by ensuring that each person feels fully heard to their satisfaction. It can be used for conflict mediation.

She is founding director of the Integrative Law Institute,author of Collaborative Law: Achieving Effective Resolution Without Litigation. Her workshops and writings catalyzed an international movement called Collaborative Law that is changing the face of family law in 28 nations. In this dialogue we talk about the role of empathy in transforming law into a healing and collaborative profession. We believe that law can be a healing profession, and that lawyers can be peacemakers. At the Integrative Law Institute, our mission is to bring insights and tools to lawyers so that they have what they need to return the practice of law to this original purpose: helping people reach resolution that heals the conflict.

I am responsible for the development of original written, video and audio content for Better Angels website and social channels, crafting public messaging, and public speaking. John wrote an article called The War on Empathy. In this dialogue we discuss the article. There is something subversive in empathy that makes it threatening to certain social status-quos. Most political coalitions are based, to some degree, on the dehumanization of their opponents. Some find empathy to be antithetical to the pursuit of justice. To others, empathy is the virtue of the morally irresolute. In a time when some politicians relentlessly insult their opponents on Twitter while others encourage their supporters to harass opponents in public places, empathy may not always strike everyone as a self-evident good. It is good to understand why empathy seems to frustrate, disappoint, or even offend its critics, precisely because it is a virtue worth defending. Fritz Breithaupt is Provost Professor at Indiana University Bloomington. He founded and directs the Experimental Humanities Laboratory at IU. He is author of the book, The Dark Sides of Empathy. argues that some of the dark sides of empathy include; self-loss, side taking, identifying with the helper, sadistic empathy and vampiristic empathy.
