Abstract
ABSTRACT Grounded in the relational-cultural theory (RCT), this study aimed to illuminate mutual empathy bounded by semester-long experiential growth groups (EGGs). Following the case study design, we collected data from reflective journals, participant-observation, and quantitative surveys of 14 EGG participants. Findings illuminated mutual empathy as an interpersonal process capturing participants’ authentic self-representation, impact on others and the relationship, and their ability to be moved by and move with others. Quantitative results corroborated qualitative findings and yielded further insights concerning individualized trajectories of perceived mutual empathy within EGGs. Implications for training, practice, and research were discussed.
