"How empathy works - and sympathy can't" by Dr Paul Furey
An animated clip that explain difference between "sympathy and empathy". How to respond and what to say when helping some one else.
We can often get confused when we're trying to help somebody out of a tight spot... and can end up getting involved in a rescue attempt out of pity. Empathy allows us to help without diminishing the other person... in fact empathic responses from us help the other person to build self-sufficiency and confidence as they get to grips with their situation and options.
