S6 Ep 63 The Empathy Trap

This is Episode 1 in my new Empathy Series. In this opening conversation, I explore what I call the empathy trap: how unchanneled empathy can paralyze us, reinforce hidden payoffs, and keep both clients and clinicians stuck. We’ll look at where the concept of empathy came from, why it’s been elevated as the highest virtue in therapy and culture, and how it differs from sympathy and compassion. I share composite client stories that reveal how empathy often serves unseen purposes, like giving us identity, attention, or a sense of purpose, while holding us back from real growth. If you’ve ever wondered why “just feeling” doesn’t bring change, this episode will challenge you to climb the ladder: from empathy, to sympathy, and ultimately to compassion. #untangledmindllc #traumatherapist #anxietycounseling #umpodcast #empathy #compassion #carlrogers #psychology #empathytrap
