\n\n\n\nEmpathy: An Aggregate of Personal Truths<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\u201cour capacity for empathy is as much the result of our experience and practice as it is of our genetic makeup.\u201d ~ Alisa Del Tufo<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
I typically share a simple question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is empathy a skill?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
A closed question, so a simple one right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe this question breaks those rules. It is simple in structure and yet beguilingly complex to ponder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Del Tufo answers it pretty well in my opinion. Our ability to empathise with others can be practised, the skill can be refined through the use of various tools and thinking frameworks to help us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there is still something at a deeper level we rely upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a school workshop, we discussed this very same question. Through our dialogue, we explored the concept that we could never completely understand what the experience and perspective are of someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walking in someone else\u2019s shoes is as elusive as someone walking in our own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With only a partial understanding realistically within our grasp, we explored how empathy is perhaps more about forming an understanding that is closer to someone else\u2019s truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the truth we create ourselves is likely to be an aggregate of our own experiences, thoughts and emotions. Our own truths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empathy is an aggregate of our truths.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Del Tufo explains that we learn empathy when we experience connectedness and surface shared values.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nI think this occurs in small aggregated pieces, rarely do we have exactly the same experience to draw from, the complexity of our bias (and life) prohibits this in many ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/600\/1*0oNoPJZ2RCFNJqDxH4fhsQ.jpeg\")

Daniel Goleman, the author of Emotional Intelligence, offers some clarity here to navigate the confusion. He explains that there are three aspects of empathy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first kind, <\/em>cognitive empathy<\/em><\/strong>, allows me to see the world through your eyes: to take your perspective and understand the mental models that make up your lens on events. The second kind, <\/em>emotional empathy<\/em><\/strong>, means I feel what you are feel; this empathy gives us an instant felt sense of the other person\u2019s emotions.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s the third kind, <\/em>empathic concern<\/em><\/strong>, that leads us to care about the other person\u2019s welfare, to want to help them if they are in need. Empathic concern forms a basis for compassion.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nIn order to feel someone else\u2019s pain, I have to connect with memories and experiences I have had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goleman explains that this might mean we choose not to help others because if your suffering makes me suffer, I can feel better by tuning out\u2026When we think of empathy as a spur to prosocial acts, it\u2019s empathic concern we have in mind.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn this short read, Daniel Goleman responds to the question: What scientific term or concept ought to be more widely known?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nChildren\u2019s Books on Empathy<\/h3>\n\n\n\nStories have the potential to be perspective portals.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nStories have the power to transport us into another world and another worldview. The list of children\u2019s books below is a good starting point for talking about empathy with young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list author is Tinybop, a US, Brooklyn-based studio creating educational products. Although I have not come across some of these books before, I like the sound of this one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just Because by Amber Housey. Part of the series Flip Side Stories, which aim to teach children to see another point of view, Just Because teaches children about the value of giving, being thankful, and having empathy for others.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nA great little collection of books aimed at primary age children that you might use as a starting point for dialogue about how we feel with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nMoments of Empathy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Design Thinking has a phase called empathy. But this is not something we switch on and off. It is certainly not something that is just a tick-a-box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A deeper connection with people at the heart of a problem will likely yield a stronger commitment to figuring things out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a Design Thinking online workshop, I encouraged teachers to share a story. A story of a time when they felt out of place and challenged by a language or cultural barrier. These memories helped us to connect on a deeper level, with the experiences of students at the heart of their inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It shifted the dialogue and our motivation to advocate.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nWe made meaning by connecting with our own experiences, memories and stories. This put us in a position to connect in a more meaningful way and understand more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a privilege to be part of that moment, so pure and clear, and to help a little in getting there. It is rare to share such a discrete moment of empathy that I can recount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hold the Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I stumbled on this quote from Bren\u00e9 Brown. Not sure why it had passed me by over the years, but my practice is better for this powerful articulation of what empathy is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It\u2019s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of \u2018You\u2019re not alone.\u2019<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/edte.ch\/media\/bc65af111a833cc48c137addeeaf1b7b<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nI had the chance to put it into practice straight away and wondered if I was overthinking how we \u201cdo it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThanks for exploring these ideas with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Talking Points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n- Do we narrow our attention too much on our quest for \u2018more empathy\u201d?<\/li>
- Reflect on the clearest moment of empathy you have witnessed?<\/li>
- Reread Brown\u2019s quote. How might you apply the ideas in your own practice?<\/li>
- What will you do to withhold judgment or simply listen?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
