  • Summary

  • Do you ever feel like your efforts at empathy fall short? Listen in as Luke defines what empathy actually is. Instead of trying to fix someone’s painful emotions, you’ll learn how to be truly present, curious, and connected. This episode will challenge you to reevaluate how you show up for others and help you create real emotional intimacy. Takeaways Empathy is about being present with someone’s emotions. The goal of empathy is connection - making the person feel seen, heard, and validated in their emotion. Sharing painful emotions is an attempt to connect - not an attack. Enmeshment and the belief that we are responsible for fixing others’ emotions can hinder genuine empathy. The CAVR tool can help in practicing empathy.
