Empathy-We all have it, we all need it

Empathy. It's necessary for our existence, yet does not always come easy. As humans, we are all born with the ability to empathize, so why do we all seem to differ in our levels of empathy? For some, it's not a question of why they are lacking in empathy, but rather what is blocking their ability to empathize. This belief that people are not "sick" or "defective," but rather stuck in a negative pattern of thoughts, behaviors, or interactions is one of the core concepts of Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and the stance I take with all of my clients!
