Tactical Empathy: Finding Balance in Mental Health

Empathy doesn't mean that you agree with somebody, but it also doesn't mean that you disagree with somebody.
Imagine you're back in the year 2000. What would your understanding of empathy be? Fast forward to 2020, and how might that perspective have evolved? In this engaging episode of the OutstandingLife podcast, Jason Jolliffe takes listeners on a journey through time to explore the concept of empathy and its pivotal role in mental health.
Jason doesn't just scratch the surface; he dives into the nitty-gritty of 'tactical empathy'—a practical approach to understanding and connecting with others without losing yourself in the process. He sheds light on common pitfalls, like the dangers of excessive positivity, which can sometimes hinder genuine empathy development. Jason also shares his favorite authors and their unique takes on fostering empathy.
Whether you're struggling with mental health challenges or just looking to deepen your emotional connections, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Join Jason as he unpacks the importance of resilience, adaptability, and open conversations in cultivating a more empathetic world.
