Empathizing promotes emotional closeness from "summary" of I Hear You by Michael S. Sorensen

Empathizing with others allows us to truly understand their feelings and experiences. When we take the time to listen and validate someone's emotions, we are showing them that we care and that their feelings are important to us. By showing empathy, we create a sense of emotional closeness with the other person. This emotional connection deepens our relationships and strengthens the bond between us. When we empathize with someone, we are demonstrating that we are willing to put ourselves in their shoes and see the world from their perspective. This act of empathy helps us to build trust and intimacy with the other person. It allows them to feel heard and understood, which in turn fosters a sense of connection and closeness. When we empathize with others, we are able to create a safe space for them to share their feelings and experiences without fear of judgment or rejection. Empathy is a powerful tool for building emotional intimacy in our relationships. It allows us to connect with others on a deeper level and create a sense of mutual understanding and support. By empathizing with others, we can nurture our relationships and cultivate a sense of emotional closeness that strengthens our bonds with those we care about.
