Feeling As Others Feel Through Somatic Empathy with Dr. Cindy Engel

Joining us on the show today is author, biologist, and bodyworker, Dr. Cindy Engel! For this conversation we explore the topic of somatic empathy, which is the focus of her newest book, ‘Another Self: How Your Body Helps You Understand Others’. This is the first overview of how our bodies take on the physical, emotional, and mental states of others and how we can utilize these principles to tend to ourselves and our relations.
