Feels Out Loud – Ep. 70: When Empathy Becomes Selective
Empathy refers to the process of sharing and understanding feelings of others. Behavioral, psychological, and neural studies demonstrate that empathy is selective, depending on circumstances. This may be part of the human experience, but what happens when empathy is too selective? What is the mental health impact at an individual, community, and societal level, when people only offer empathy to those who they believe are worthy of it? Tune in to this episode as hosts Becky McNattin and Tara Martini discuss the concept of selective empathy and how we can develop awareness around the ways in which we express empathy to others.
