In my inner work coaching practice, I have found empaths to have an exaggerated stress response to the wound. The mother wound is a condition in which the mother projects unhealed aspects of herself onto her child causing emotional and or physical trauma.

According to Judith Orloff, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Empath’s Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People in empaths, the brain’s mirror neuron system – a specialized group of cells that are responsible for compassion- is thought to be hyperactive.  As a result, empaths can absorb other people’s energies (both positive and negative) into their own bodies. At times it may even be difficult to tell if you are feeling your own emotions or someone else’s.

When the mother is unable, unwilling or unavailable to heal for the child to live a happy healthy and whole life, the child must learn to live in loving detachment from mama, drama and the trauma.
