Listen "Ep. 15 Are you highly sensitive? Growing up an empath and embracing it"
Episode Synopsis
Once upon a time, and for a long time, I saw my sensitivity as a total weakness. Absorbing everything and everyone's energies around me leaving me with unwanted emotional pain or sadness.
Only after reaching pure apathy was I grateful to be able to feel at all again and then I recognised that this sensitivity is a gift, one that offers great intuition, enabling me to work with people, enabling me to empathise, feeling what others are going through before anything is said, allowing me to then create the space to heal. Growing up an empath made me feel a little alienated and defeated, I had labels thrown at me for being "weak", "too emotional", "so sensitive", "fragile" however, along my journey I have learnt to tune into these tools and use them in a way that is beyond helpful but also with the balance of being able to observe without absorbing, using healthy boundaries and other tools for protection, so that I remain open to insight but protected from anything that is not energetically, emotionally or physically my own.
If you were blessed with the gift of sensitivity, now is the time to start embracing it.
