Cognitive Empathy >> just knowing how someone might be feeling and what thoughts might be running through their mind. At the core, this is perspective-taking, where we may not necessarily have sympathy but we are aware of the emotions of others.
Emotional Empathy >> when we can actually tap into and feel what the other is feeling. This is a skill that doctors and nurses would have cultivated during time spent with patients under their care.
Compassionate Empathy >> the most holistic form of empathy. Not only are we aware of how someone may be feeling and attuned to their emotions, but we are also driven to help the person if needed.
