Understanding Empathy: Why Some Have It and Others Don't with Dr. Margaret Paul
“So I hope you can start to see how very, very important it is to learn and practice the six steps of interbonding, to develop your higher brain, to develop the neural pathways for the loving adult, so that we don't end up being reactive in angry ways that are harmful to other people and harmful to our planet.”
Why is it that some people seem naturally empathetic while others struggle to connect on a deeper level? Dr. Margaret Paul tackles this intriguing question in her latest episode of 'Inner Bonding'. Drawing from her own experiences, she sheds light on the roots of empathy and how it can be nurtured. Dr. Paul explains that love plays a crucial role in developing empathy, and often, a lack of empathy can stem from growing up with narcissistic parents.
