Benne Brown:
“Empathy seeking is driven by the need to know that we are not alone.
We need to know that other people have experienced similar feelings and that our experiences don’t keep us from being accepted and affirmed.
Empathy helps us move away from shame toward resilience.
Sympathy, on the other hand, can actually exacerbate shame.”
