Gente nutritiva: cómo identificar los vínculos que nos hacen crecer

In this new episode of the podcast "Los Stamateas," psychologist Bernardo Stamateas offers an in-depth analysis of interpersonal relationships. He defines nurturing people as those individuals capable of lifting up, motivating, and emotionally supporting those around them. According to the specialist, the distinguishing factor is empathy, but not just any kind; rather, what he calls "operative empathy." Stamateas explained, "It helps you without getting hurt. It puts them in your shoes to understand you and help you from that place." This ability allows us to differentiate those who act with emotional composure from those who engage in excessive empathy, which ultimately becomes toxic by plunging both parties into conflict.
