The celebrate #worldempathyday we wanted to help share some information about the different types of empathy.
- Cognitive - Simply knowing how the other person feels and what they might be thinking. Sometimes called perspective-taking.
- Emotional - When you feel physically along with the other person, as though their emotions were contagious.
- Compassionate - With this kind of empathy we not only understand a person’s predicament and feel with them, but are spontaneously moved to help, if needed.
