I Know, I Know - Empathy Chant
by Chris Assaad
When we can meet someone else in their pain with genuine empathy, there is an alchemy that can happen that might not be otherwise possible. In the space of being met, felt, seen, heard, and held with full, open-hearted presence and acceptance, oftentimes the deep pain, sadness, and grief that have been buried, suppressed, hidden, and tucked away can move and come to the surface. When that kind of safety is present - the kind that says: “I’m with you. I don’t need to do anything. I don’t need to fix this or change it. I’m just here to be with you while you feel this fully.” - then, the pain can finally move, be voiced, expressed, released, and ultimately, set free. In the spirit of authentic empathy, I want to offer this song I wrote titled “I Know, I Know” as a space to feel, to heal, to grieve, and to practice giving that empathetic space to yourself and to others.
