Brené Brown on Empathy
Royal Society of Arts

A short animated RSA piece with Dr Brene Brown's voiceover on the difference between empathy and sympathy. She argues that real connection requires getting in touch with your own vulnerability, rather than trying to fix someone's pain.
Recommended as a quick, memorable explanation of how to support someone in pain without making it about yourself.
