FMCK values : empathy

Empathy is often mistaken for projection. For feeling what others feel, saying what they might say, moving to meet them before they’ve arrived. We do not do that. FMCK treats empathy not as absorption, but as precision. The ability to be near something without mistaking it for yours.

The ruling out is identification. We do not merge. We do not take on the shape of someone else’s experience. We do not rush to match their tone with one of our own. Empathy does not mean echoing. It means leaving space.
