Empowered Empaths

This week Kristin and Martha discuss the idea that the constructs and how we interpret them,have affected our lives in a subtle but impactful way. Constructs are values, beliefs, opinions, and personal orientations about a particular, non-measurable event. Examples are love, fear,depression. These things cannot be measured or quantified but are identified by behaviors.There are many agreed-upon behaviors that will indicate that a person is “loving” or“depressed” or “afraid” but the accumulation of behaviors do not and cannot give us aconcrete, one size fits all definition of a particular construct but the inferred behavior evokesthe belief that a person is kind or loving. We make sense of our world by identifying behavior inways that we can measure and this week’s discussion asks whether we can and should.
