    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Psychology
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Empathy is crucial in therapeutic relationships.
    • Understanding the phases of empathy, such as empathic resonation and expressed empathy, is important.
    • Barrett-Lennard's empathy cycle provides a framework for studying these phases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between participants' emotional experiences and clients' affective presentation.
    • To examine empathic resonation and expressed empathy as defined by Barrett-Lennard's empathy cycle.
    • To explore the correlation between empathic resonation and the maintenance of emotional separation.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 18 participants was conducted.
    • Empathy was assessed using measures of empathic resonation and expressed empathy.

  • Participants' emotional experiences were compared to clients' affective presentation.

    • Main Results:

    • Participant emotional experiences corresponded with client affective presentation, supporting the hypothesis.
    • Empathic resonation showed a negative correlation with the maintenance of emotional separation.
    • Expressed empathy results were in the predicted direction but did not reach statistical significance.

    Conclusions:

    • Emotional mirroring between participants and clients was observed.
    • Maintaining emotional separation may be inversely related to empathic resonation.
    • Further research is needed to confirm findings on expressed empathy.
