In this week's podcast, the focus is on the empath, which is the opposite of the coin of narcissism.

I Talie, your host, navigate the true definition of what an empath is, breaking down the different types of empathy that make up this complex personality trait.

The first type of empathy is cognitive empathy, which involves understanding and identifying with someone else's perspective, emotions, and thoughts. This type of empathy is also called "perspective-taking" empathy. However, it is important to note that this type of empathy needs to be backed up with some kind of emotion or internal identification with the other person's feelings.

The second type of empathy is emotional empathy, which involves feeling the emotions of others as if they were your own. This means that when you see someone else in pain or distress, you feel their emotions deeply, and it affects you emotionally as well.

This type of empathy is also known as "affective empathy" or "emotional contagion."

The third type of empathy is somatic empathy, which involves feeling physical sensations in response to another person's experiences or pain. This means that you may feel a visceral reaction in your own body when you witness someone else's pain or discomfort.

The fourth and final type of empathy is spiritual empathy, which involves a deep sense of connection to others and a recognition of the interconnectedness of all things.

This type of empathy is often associated with religious or spiritual beliefs, and it involves feeling a sense of oneness with the universe and a desire to alleviate the suffering of others.

Overall, being an empath involves a complex interplay of these different types of empathy, and the host provides valuable insights into what it means to be an empath and how this personality trait can impact one's life and relationships.
