Understanding Different Types of Empathy

Empathy comes in various forms, such as cognitive empathy, emotional empathy, and compassionate empathy. Cognitive empathy involves intellectually understanding someone else's experiences by reading verbal and physical cues. Emotional empathy occurs when we feel the same emotions as others.
