About :

Being empathetic - that's something to be desired...or is it? Does #empathy always have advantages - for you, your environment, society? Or can empathy also have disadvantages? What are the negative effects of empathy? In this video, biologist Jasmina Neudecker discovers that empathy can also have a dark side: Does empathy make you sick? And if so, how can that happen? What is the connection between stress and empathy and when do less empathetic people perhaps even have an advantage in society? Irritability, cynicism and a reduced ability to empathize: this is how some sufferers describe the state of compassion fatigue. A state that can occur, for example, in first responders, emergency doctors and people in care. Gottfried Rauch is also very familiar with this compassion fatigue. The geriatric nurse tells Jasmina his story. What effects can an excess of empathetic feelings have on people in care professions? Is there such a thing as empathetic stress? Jasmina also discusses this question with the neuroscientist and psychologist Prof. Dr. Philipp Kanske. How can pity turn into compassion and why is that such an important difference? ????
