Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
The word “empathy” is barely a century old. English borrowed it from German — Einfühlung, “feeling into” — around 1908. But the thing itself is ancient. People were standing in each other’s shoes long before anyone gave the posture a name. Empathy isn’t a trend. It’s a practice with a long history. George Eliot understood […]

Empathy doesn’t disappear in the dark moments. It’s not that fragile. It’s a choice. Made again, and again, especially when things are hard. Compassion for ourselves. Compassion for the people we love. And the harder one — compassion for strangers, who ask us for nothing and owe us nothing back. Saying yes to that is […]

What does it cost us to stop everything and truly connect with another person? I know a man who works hard for me, tending gardens and mowing. I respect him. His child is ill. Today I’m frequently stopping my day to check on him, to let him know he’s not alone, that someone sees what […]

An empath is a person who is interested in other people. They are skilled at stepping into other people’s shoes to understand their feelings and thoughts and how they see the world, even when the person is different from how they view the world and the things they may want. An empath strongly desires to […]

Empathy is your choice to imagine what makes another person do what they do. There are facts you can seek out to discover the truth about who a person is. Empathy means doing the emotional work to see how someone thinks, feels, and views the world. It may be different from how you think, feel, […]
