Accessing empathy and compassion in the therapeutic encounter helps us attune to that which is spoken—and as such transpiring in the dual plane—and to that which is unspoken and transferred between therapist and patient in a nondual state of oneness. Specifically, empathy operates on the dual plane where self and other can be discerned and compassion operates on the nondual plane where the distinctions of self and other soften into a state of inter-being. Listening for this realm in which we “inter-are” (Nhat Hanh, 1988) enables us to notice and to make use of the unspoken and unthought. With this understanding, the meaning of the uncanny shifts from being an unusual and eerie experience to being an ever-present intersubjective experience that transpires at the interpenetration of dual and nondual modes of being.
