One way to achieve empathy is to use active listening. Compare and contrast this process with passive listening
What will be an ideal response?
Active listening is a collaborative process of attending to the message being conveyed by the other party and then feeding back an understanding of the message. The feedback forms a loop so that misunderstandings are clarified by each party until the person sending the message feels heard by the listener. As such it is a two-way process. This contrasts with passive listening that is a one-way process of one person conveying a message and the other person passively receiving the message. There is no feedback, so the person conveying the message is unsure if he or she is understood by the listener.
