Some conversations ask a lot of you, and this Empathy Tips hoodie is meant to stand beside you when they do.
Printed across it are three grounding reminders: “Understand their world, not your version of it.” “Listening without defending is a superpower.” and “You can’t support someone you’re busy judging.”
Together, they turn this empathy hoodie into a kind of wearable guide you can carry into team check‑ins, case consultations, family talks, or those late‑night debriefs after everything finally spills out.
Therapists, peer mentors, RAs, youth workers, and “designated listeners” often pull it on before days filled with stories, because it keeps the basics of real support right where they can see them.
The phrases invite quieter people to open up and give more reactive folks a way to name what they’re working toward—less defending, more understanding.
The hoodie itself is soft and easy to live in, so your body can stay a little more settled while you focus on nervous systems, tone, and the stories underneath the surface.
If you notice yourself getting prickly or starting to defend, catching a glimpse of your own chest can be enough to pause, breathe, and come back to the conversation with a different posture.
It doesn’t demand perfection; it just keeps three small empathy practices close to your heart while you keep learning how to show up for the people you care about—and for yourself.
