In the last 4 meetings we have talked about emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, happiness … These emotions not only feel within us, but we recognize them in others.

Empathy is a social skill that drives our evolution as a human species, now also recognized by science thanks to an all-Italian discovery, that of mirror neurons. When we practice empathy we listen to the other in a profound way, almost forgetting about us, has this ever happened to you? Those who practice a helping profession, on the other hand, learn not to lose focus on themselves in order to be effective in “staying close” without replacing the other. Are we able to enter into empathic understanding precisely for our humanity?
