Advanced Accurate Empathy

Advanced accurate empathy is considered to be a form of empathy that is beyond the labels of basic empathy, emotional empathy, and somatic empathy.

Empathy is the ability to emotionally understand what another person is feeling. Advanced accurate empathy is a state where a therapist is able to infer the feelings and concerns that are behind a client's actions. While highly subjective, these inferences can be made by watching facial expressions and body language. To reach this level of empathy takes considerable experience on the part of the practitioner.
