Imagining the feelings of someone else (or how you would feel in a similar situation) is sympathy, not empathy. When you sympathize in this way your emotional body merges with that of the person you are focused upon the person who is longing to be heard does not want these feelings projected back upon them. It becomes a block for clear understanding and connection.
Empathy is the ability to hold your emotions separately while holding the space to hear them with your complete focus of attention. When a person is heard without any attachment from the listener they can more likely to experience an inner-connection that leads to taking actions to move forward easily.
