About this episode
Dr. B and Juliana explore the concept of empathy in responses and discuss alternative conversational responses.
Can you imagine a world where people's first response in most situations is empathy? Neither can we, but we like imagining it. In this Episode, Dr. B and Juliana ponder that question and begin to unpack some of the reasons why that is not typical. They also go into some teaching about Other Conversational Responses in comparison to empathy.
