Offering empathy refers to the process through which you are heard. It involves a flow of reflecting observations and tapping into possible feelings and needs related to the situation that you bring to process.

Sympathy is the experience of another person feeling sorry for you. When you receive sympathy there is little to no new clarity or resolution regarding what you are experiencing.

Empathy gives you the experience of being heard through acknowledging the way you are really feeling and often uncovering what you are really needing and wanting. Empathy is a conversational process with the intention to bring clarity which makes conflict resolution more possible.

When sharing with a friend you may or may not actually have the experience of being heard. Many times friends will offer advice, minimize, just relate to what you share, or respond in some other way that leaves you feeling disappointed. In Room to be Heard you have the opportunity to fully express. Being heard is one of the most elemental experiences that a human needs to thrive. It is truly refreshing and life-giving to have someone hear you deeply. To hear deeply is to listen and respond with empathy, a skill that is sadly missing from most of our relationships.
