Empathic || To be with another in this way means that for the time being you lay aside the views and values you hold for yourself in order to enter anotherโs world without prejudice. In some sense it means that you lay aside yourself and this can only be done by a person who is secure enough in himself that he knows he will not get lost in what may turn out to be the strange of bizarre world of the other, and can comfortably return to his own world as he wishes. Perhaps this description makes clear that being empathic is a complex, demanding, strong yet subtle and gentle way of being.
Carl Rogers.
