All forms of bullying and abuse can leave scars, but because they are invisible, they often go untended. Here's how to change that.
To remind you, empathy is when you see the world through someone else’s eyes. You walk in their shoes. You imagine how he or she might think, feel, or experience life. In research into empathy, scientists have learned that we, on a brain level, can feel one another’s pain.
Those who bully and abuse have little to no empathy. They are referred to as “callous, un-empathic” in the literature.. It gives you a competitive advantage. Our brains are born wired for empathy, but some people’s innate empathy networks get damaged in the brain. The good news is with neuroplasticity, our brain’s ability to change and adapt, you can strengthen your empathy.A practice you can do daily to strengthen the neural networks for empathy is to truly listen to others.
When you repeatedly fire up this neural network, the brain wires it in. As neuroscientists love to say: what fires together, wires together.Teicher, M. ."Impact of Childhood Maltreatment on Brain Development." International Society for Neurofeedback and Research.
