Is your empathy a trauma response? Or is it a Super Power?
No, you're right, it's often both. Rarely does anything like this exist in the binary!
Empathy often stems from hyper-vigilance in childhood - a need to read people's behaviour to maintain a feeling of safety and control over your environment.
As adults, we can certainly change the story around it, heal the subconscious trauma, gain increased empathy and understanding for the reasons we developed empathy as our coping mechanism, and then really tap into the gold that having this power gives us.
