It is not empathy that causes us to react inappropiatly in a situation or put ourselves or others in danger .It is our fear of what might happen or our inability to be objective.We have to be careful not to confuse sympathy with empathy. In my opinion sympathy is the more likely emotion to lead to neurotic or irrational response. my understanding of empathy is that it helps us to understand how things are for another person without actually having to experience what they have .

There's a lot of situations too, where what's needed is listening and empathy and no help. Like just being with someone when theyre in inevitable pain.

We must not let our emotions get in the way of a logical response. :-)
