What is empathy?

What is * * * love?

There is a saying in To Kill a Mockingbird 1: You can never really understand a person unless you walk from his point of view and think about it from his point of view. Walking through the road he walked, he lamented the scenery he saw. In real life, can you be keenly aware of each other's emotional changes and feel the same when others explain their experiences? This kind of empathy is psychologically called * * * empathy.

2. Empathy is a concept put forward by humanistic psychologist Rogers. * * * Emotion is a great ability that human beings have, that is to say, they can put themselves in others' shoes and have sensibility and understanding of others' emotions. This ability is based on our observation and imitation of emotions, and depends on the role of mirror neurons in the brain.

* * * Emotional ability is the cornerstone of psychological counseling, which runs through every healthy interpersonal relationship.

3. In a business survey conducted by consulting giant Ernst & Young accounting firm 202 1, 89% of the respondents said that * * would bring better leadership, 85% said it could improve productivity, and 87% said it could improve the level of trust between employees and leaders. It can be seen that * * * emotion is extremely important in daily life and work, which can facilitate us to establish good social relations with others, enhance our sense of happiness and produce more prosocial behaviors.

4. Having healthy emotional ability is also one of the manifestations of high EQ. However, emotional ability has two sides, which can help others or hurt others. People are usually more fond of people who have the same experience as themselves, so goodwill is like a spotlight, with personal prejudice, which can only illuminate the special one, while many other things sink into darkness.

5. Excessive * * * emotions will lead to * * emotional fatigue. Excessive emotional arousal can easily lead to emotional overload, spend more time and cost on emotional adjustment, bear greater pressure and internal friction, and increase the risk of depression. Even though people who are highly emotional are often regarded as kinder and friendlier, and those who lack emotional ability are often regarded as indifferent, under some realistic environmental pressures, people's depressed performance stems from a self-protection mechanism.
