Empathy

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

For counselors this is a core skill; we have extensive training and experience in sitting with people and  their feelings.  For everyone, life is full of challenging experiences and opportunities to connect.  Try to practice holding space for others around you.  Being present with someone without fixing or judging what is happending cultivates the connection that we all crave. Try making this a core component of all your interactions and enjoy the magic. 

Be Well!
