Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Empathic understanding requires a helper to establish rapport with the client and to be attuned to their communication in order to understand the client's perspective and empathize with their feelings. It does not require disconnection from oneself or imagining how one would feel in a similar situation, although these may be helpful in developing empathy.
