Empathic listening focuses on paying close attention to what others say in order to understand them intellectually and emotionally. It involves active listening techniques to develop stronger relationships. Critical listening analyzes what is said to evaluate arguments and form opinions. The listener assesses strengths and weaknesses to agree or disagree, and analyzes and synthesizes the information. For example, when watching a debate one would use critical listening to evaluate arguments, whereas showing sympathy through empathic listening without questioning allows understanding without judgment.

What is the difference between empathic listening and critical
listening? Empathic listening is a structured listening and questioning technique that allows us to develop and enhance relationships with a stronger understanding of what is being conveyed, both intellectually and emotionally. As such, it takes active listening techniques to a new level. And Critical listening is a process for understanding what is said and evaluating, judging, and forming an opinion on what we hear. The listener assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the content, agrees or disagrees with the information, and analyzes and synthesizes material. They are both different types of listening yet part of listening. The difference is that while empathetic listening focuses on paying attention to what others say and critical listening focuses on analyzing what they say for better understanding. For an example, if there is an upcoming election and one need to decide who to vote for, they probably use some form of critical listening when they watch a televised debate. They listen, and then evaluate. And on the other hand, when a person shows sympathy towards the speaker and listens to them without asking any question that’s empathic listening that is the difference between empathic listening and critical listening.
what you mean by “communication begins with the self.”
Understanding your perspective can lend insight to your awareness, the ability to be conscious of events and stimuli. Awareness determines what you pay attention to, how you carry out your intentions, and what you remember of your activities and experiences each day. Awareness is a complicated and fascinating area of study. The way we take in information, give it order, and assign it meaning has long interested researchers from disciplines including sociology, anthropology, and psychology. Beliefs are ideas based on our previous experiences and convictions and may not necessarily be based on logic or fact. You no doubt have beliefs on political, economic, and religious issues. These beliefs may not have been formed through rigorous study, but you nevertheless hold them as important aspects of self. Beliefs often serve as a frame of reference through which we interpret our world. Although they can be changed, it often takes time or strong evidence to persuade someone to change a belief.
