DrClay, I have a couple of questions/comments.
When I was hospitalized in a psych ward for depression, one of the psychologists there explained Empathy vesus Sympathy. Simply put, sympathy is jumping into the depression pit with someone else, making it difficult for both to get out. Empathy is understanding and acknowledging the other's feelings but staying outside the pit and giving them a hand up. Do you agree with this analogy?
Could you give us all some line of demarcation or something similar between Support and Enabling?
Thank you ahead of time.
