About this episode

This episode discusses how to ask for empathy in conversations without triggering the other person.

Imagine you are in a conversation and could really use empathy. Then the person with whom you are talking is doing their best to listen and support you, but they venture into some of those "Other Conversational Responses." How can you guide them to giving you empathy without hurting their feelings? Episode 289 attempts to address this question.
