The feelings are yours. The work is designed to invoke feelings.

The abstraction of the feelings are in the analysis of the work rather than in the reading. I suppose some people combine the two as they read.

I suppose some will put themselves in the place of the author as well. Reading this feels like being trapped into being someone’s therapist.

Well, that's empathy. It's not about having the same experiences yourself verbatim so being able to directly relate.
