The Three Dimensions of Empathy with Stevie Cotet Hall

About this episode

This episode explores a multidimensional understanding of empathy and its role in fostering connection and communication.

Empathy is often praised as the key to connection—but why does it sometimes fail? This episode introduces a more nuanced and multidimensional understanding of empathy—one that distinguishes between knowing, feeling, and responding. Drawing from research, clinical insight, and real-world examples, the conversation examines how empathy can succeed, where it often breaks down, and how a deeper understanding of empathy can lead to stronger connection, clearer communication, and healthier relationships.
