“You either have empathy, or you don’t.”
This is a quote I recently saw on an Instagram meme page, and it had thousands of likes, shares, saves, and comments clearly showing that many people agree. But is it true that empathy is an all-or-nothing trait? And is it something you are just born with, or something that can be learned? In this episode of the Irreverent Healing podcast, we will explore the idea of empathy - how it forms and if it is learnable, as well as whether black-and-white thinking in the age of social media soundbites is really helpful or not.
