Are you getting Sympathy or Empathy?

We often think that sympathy and empathy are one and the same but Dr. Brene Brown's humorous little video shows there is a distinct difference between their expression and intent.

You may recognise the well-meaning but ineffective nature of the sympathetic character and have experienced this response first-hand.

Or you may realise that this is how you tend to respond to someone when they have a problem and have wondered why it doesn't seem to help them.

Hopefully this video helps you to understand what someone who's suffering really needs most of all.
