Module Overview
Originated by Prof. Felicia Megret
Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person’s frame of reference, i.e., the capacity to place yourself in “another person’s shoes”. In this module we look at empathy and what it means as an emotion. We observe signs of empathy in ourselves and others to see how being empathic improves relationships and we learn how to cultivate empathy in ourselves.
