When empathy becomes overwhelming

Individuals experiencing empathetic distress report feelings of sadness, anxiety, and emotional fatigue.

Empathy is a word that expresses the beautiful way humans connect. It is how we understand people and resonate with their feelings. It's remarkable how we can shed tears for someone's sadness and share in their happiness. This feeling enables us to peer into the depths of another's soul, witnessing their pain through their eyes and joy through the sparkle in their gaze.
