Emotion Focused Therapy Teaching Tip #3: Empathy is the foundation of everything we do in Emotion Focused Therapy

Did you know that compassion and empathy are different?

Compassion is characterized by a sense of kindness and a genuine concern for another’s suffering, often with a desire to help someone feel better. Empathy is the ability to emotionally connect with and understand another person’s feelings or perspective, characterized by a sense of deeply being with another’s experience.

In addition to being a powerful intervention in its own right, empathy is also a great “fall back” position for any EFT clinician. When in doubt about where to go next, slow down, refocus on the client, and follow them into their own experience.
