If you scored fairly low on the opening quiz, you’ll probably benefit from practicing this exercise daily for 28 consecutive days to lodge the image of a loving inner parent in your deep memory bank. Yes, you can proceed without it, but it will speed your progress toward consistent empathy by giving you a positive counterpoint to any nonempathic examples from your childhood. Children can and do act empathically before they’re old enough to have been exposed to canons of right and wrong. Empathy is based in the body; it’s a felt experience. It’s a tug on the heart, a hollow in the stomach, so the best way to get a fresh start on empathy is to feel like you have an empathic parent as a model.

You can reinforce the felt nature of empathy by doing the following introspective exercise as well.
