I’ve known it for very long time. But never really admitted that to myself.
And it’s so easy. I just never put all the dots together.
Sometimes called also a highly sensitive person, an empath is someone who can “read” peoples energy really well.
That means that an empath is attuned to the frequencies of others and very often struggles to distinguish between their own vibrations and emotions and the emotions of others.
Empaths who are not aware of their ability or do not know how to handle it may take on more than they deserve.
They take on the emotions of others as if they were their own without hesitation.
It works like a sponge. Taking in everything from the surrounding.
How to know that you are an empath? Check this out!
- regular mood swings
- overwhelm by ones own emotions
- not knowing how to handle the emotions
- feeling hurt, pain, sorrow of others like your own pain
- being affected by others’ emotions, attitudes, moods
A lot of empaths do not even know that they are doing all of that because it’s just so natural for them to “feel everything” on a deep level. Empaths often think that everyone feels the same and are surprised that this is not how everybody reacts.
If you identify as an empath you might often avoid conflicts, misunderstandings, difficult situations, rejections – which means you are avoiding being hurt.
Also, you are avoiding hurting others, accidentally or intentionally.
Your sensitivity has been a burden to you your whole life and maybe you even tried to numb it.
By way of “not feeling”, supressing your emotions (you might have learnt that as a child already) or using substances and addictions.
What ever you did it has not worked since there is always a cost to that.
Your happiness, satisfaction, joy, love in life.
You might have hated your sensitivity and wished you were different.
Because you’ve never seen your ability as a gift.
Up until now.
Your sensitivity is precious and it can be just the biggest gift to you ever.
Let me show you how.
Get a slot on my calendar and let’s talk!
Love you, Andrea
