Q&A
Can you be an empath and not know it?
Zanna Smith
Yes. Some people have somatic empathy without knowing it. Their mirror neuron system reacts to others’ experiences as if it were happening to them. This can lead to compassion fatigue, lowered immune system, anger, sadness, fatigue, and many other physical and emotional states.
