m@ (@mattschaar) 9/4/12 7:45 PM @Ryan_Smith Compassion, I think, is the first step: seeing that someone hurts. Empathy is the process of understanding why. #potsclive

Kaela Bostic (@ms_kaela) 9/4/12 7:18 PM empathy is not comparing our experience to someone's hurt, it's offering a shoulder when someone needs it the most. #potsclive

 

Ryan Smith (@Ryan_Smith) 9/4/12 7:19 PM empathy is not about fixing anything but about listening. #potsclive

 

m@ (@mattschaar) 9/4/12 7:17 PM @POTSC Empathy -- my favorite topic! It's holding space for someone to grieve, to share, to love -- without trying to "fix" them. #potsclive

Ben Moore (@pastorben52) 9/4/12 7:14 PM @POTSC I think it means to accept someone in who they are, honoring them and their emotions and giving them a safe place to share #potsclive
