In honor of Mental Health Week, today’s Wellness Minutes are about Empathy. There’s some confusion around the difference between Sympathy vs Empathy. Sympathy is feeling sorry for someone else or pitying them. But those feelings include judgment. Whereas Empathy, is trying to understand what someone else is feeling or going though, and trying to put yourself in their shoes! This allows the other person to feel however they feel, without you adding to their discomfort.
