Empathy – Sensing and Absorbing Emotions

Reflection: Strengthening Your Emotional Sensitivity

Empathy requires not only the ability to feel deeply but also the ability to navigate the emotional landscape without becoming overwhelmed. Reflect on how these exercises are helping you develop this balance.

Reflection Prompts:

Do you often feel overwhelmed by the emotions of others?

If so, how does it affect you?

How do you distinguish between your own emotions and those of the people around you?

Have you noticed any changes in your ability to sense others' emotions since starting these practices?

Reflecting on these questions will help you develop a conscious awareness of your empathic abilities and how to manage them effectively.
