What’s Coming This Episode?
It is often said that to be empathic you need to have walked in someone else’s shoes for a while to know exactly how they feel. Some are good at this and some not so good. Struggling with it? Fear not, it can be learned (or re-learned).
Enjoy the show, it’s The Self Help Podcast!
