 MEANING OF EMPATHY

• Empathy is, at its simplest, awareness of the

feelings and emotions of other people. It is a key
element of Emotional Intelligence, the link
between self and others, because it is how we as
individuals understand what others are
experiencing as if we were feeling it ourselves.
 • Am I compassionate enough to care about understand
the other person's feeling ?

Questions to • Can I put myself in the other person’s shoes so

completely that I don’t criticize or judge them ?
ask yourself • Can I let myself enter in to the other’s feelings and
personal meanings to see these the way they do ?
 Ways to show EMPATHY

Cognitive Empathy
• Cognitive empathy is the largely conscious drive to recognize
accurately and understand another’s emotional state.
Sometimes we call this kind of empathy “perspective taking.”
• The terms cognitive empathy and theory of
mind or mentalizing are often used synonymously, but due to
a lack of studies comparing theory of mind with types of
empathy, it is unclear whether these are equivalen
• Sometimes it is also called perspective-taking, this kind of
empathy can help in, say, a negotiation or in motivating
people.
• "Perspective taking is a good ability to possess."
• Example : A study at the University of Birmingham found, for
example, that managers who are good at perspective-taking
were able to move workers to give their best efforts.

Compassionate empathy
• Loneliness in the company of another is a common
symptom of being in an irrelationship.
• In fact, it is often the symptom that first breaks
through—into awareness—when those in an
irrelationship are bottoming out. It feels like a
contradiction in terms: How can I be lonely when I
am not alone?

 Empathy vs Sympathy

• Before we going to discuss about the types of empathy.

• We have to discuss about the differences between sympathy and empathy

• Empathy is the ability to experience the feelings of another person
• It goes beyond sympathy, which is caring and understanding for the suffering of
others.
• Both words are used similarly and often interchangeably (incorrectly so) but differ
subtly in their emotional meaning.
