““Empathy is always perched precariously between gift and invasion... Empathy isn't just remembering to say 'that must be really hard' -- it's figuring out how to bring difficulty into the light so it can be seen at all. Empathy isn't just listening, it's asking the questions whose answers need to be listened to. Empathy requires inquiry as much as imagination.... Empathy means realizing trauma has no discreet edges."p7””
