Kinesthetic Empathy

Kinesthetic empathy is the ability to understand and share another person's feelings through observing their body language, movements, and physical expressions. It involves sensing and interpreting physical cues—such as posture, gestures, and tension—to grasp their emotional state. This form of empathy enables a person to connect more deeply by "feeling" what others might be experiencing physically, enhancing communication and emotional understanding without words. It is often used in fields like dance, acting, therapy, and caregiving to foster genuine connection and responsiveness.
