Claire wrote an article/paper titled, The Significance and Limitations of Empathy in Strategic Communications.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
