Jacopathy

jay-s-o-path-ee

Feeling the emotions of someone else because it triggers the memories and feelings of a situation of you're own. More personal and intense then empathy and, unlike empathy, these feelings are directed towards yourself and not the other person/thing involved.

Origin

Jac (from Latin jacere - to throw) + pathy (from Greek pathos - to suffer)
I was watching Jaws, and I had a moment of jacopathy as I felt all the emotions of when I nearly drowned.
