When teaching about empathy, author, speaker, and self-help phenom Brene’ Brown tells us that our brains are wired to run from pain - including emotional pain - whether it is ours or someone else’s. One of the opportunities we have in serving others through listening is empathetically sitting with them, allowing grace and space for the person to not be “fixed” but to feel whatever it is they need to feel.
