Course overview
Lesson Overview
3.5 – Showing Empathy Even When You Disagree: Listen to understand the emotion behind the message, not just the opinion being shared; acknowledge their feelings with statements like “I see why that upset you” even if you would react differently; avoid arguing while they’re vulnerable; separate the person from the disagreement; use a calm tone so your care stays clear; remind them that having different views doesn’t weaken the relationship; let them know their feelings matter to you; take turns speaking and checking understanding; find common needs like respect and safety even during disagreement; empathy builds bridges where conflict could build walls.
