Specific to compulsive behaviors, empathy in addiction is an attuned understanding of the WHY, not justification of the WHAT. Empathy feels WITH the person, while staying grounded, boundaried, and clear-eyed about the harm.

In recovery, empathy is the ability to understand and emotionally connect with the betrayed partner’s reality - the fear, confusion, destabilization, and loss of safety caused - while staying present, accountable, and non-defensive.

The Empathy Assessment is a therapeutic support tool that provides you with a baseline of where you are in your empathy journey.

Cognitive Empathy: understanding the perspective or mental state of another - to be able to see the world as they see it.

An empathy assessment is a research-backed, comprehensive assessment tool designed to measure your capacity across multiple empathy domains to support your healing journey. It provides information about where you are and your current capacity for cognitive and affective empathy and empathic action. The report provides clear, actionable insights for your growth and can be a valuable resource for you and your therapist.

You will receive information about:

• Your barriers to demonstrating empathy

• Areas where empathy can grow and transform your relationships

• How you understand and respond to others’ emotions
