Detailed explanation-1: -Role of Empathy in Therapy Therapists who are highly empathic can help people in treatment face past experiences and obtain a greater understanding of both the experience and feelings surrounding it. Empathy is different from sympathy, which can imply pity, and conveying empathy is also not a passive process.
Detailed explanation-2: -Empathy allows the therapist to build a therapeutic alliance by apprehending the client’s perspective and goals, understanding their unique personality style and preferences, and communicating with them in an appropriate way.
Detailed explanation-3: -– Therapeutic listening Listening with empathy is a way of being. When doing so, it is apparent in your body language. For example, leaning in, arms and legs uncrossed, communicates you are interested in what the client is saying and empathizing with their feelings.
