Recent research, particularly in Ireland, has explored body-centred countertransference in female trauma therapists. This phenomenon involves physical responses in therapists and has been linked to [[mirror neurons]] and automatic empathy. Researchers at NUI Galway and University College Dublin have developed a scale to measure these responses, shedding light on the somatic aspects of countertransference in therapeutic settings.<ref>Egan, J. & Carr, A.
