A recent client described herself as "too sensitive" seeing herself in the worng - she is not!
Have you ever had that said to you? You're too sensitive? Does it hurt, make you feel that you are somehow in the wrong? Where you given the message growing up not to cry?
It's OK to be a sensitive soul. If you feel empathy for someone then you are connecting on a much deeper level than other people, we need you!If someone is cruel and then calls it banter, or says they were only joking it is not acceptable, and then they compound it by calling you "too sensitive" it is actually them that is insensitive. They are bullying.
I remember at school there were a small group of girls who liked to think they were the tough ones, in fact at a recent school reunion many of use admitted that we were frightened of these girls. Then one day they turned on one of their own and myself and my friends looked out for, helped her and supported her - we knew what it was like to be bullied. And she said "Why are you being nice to me, we have been horrible to you". That's what sensitive people do they look out for others, they help, and they have no thoughts of hurting others.
It is not always easy being an empath, you are very aware of other people's energy, so you struggle in crowds, therefore develop strategies - I shop in supermarkets when it is quiet, I don't watch the news so that I can control how much information I am exposed to by reading instead. Be aware of the friends and family that drain your energy and manage the time you spend with them.
So embrace your sensitive side, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone, now it is time to understand and accept yourself. I live alone and have often had remarks such as " big house that for someone on their own", however I need space to breathe, and particularly love a good sized garden, and to be in the country side and yet again no-one has the right to comment on how I live my life.
Many empaths work in the healing world as I do, as we genuinely feel for our clients and are able to support them through their healing journey as they feel at last someone understands what makes them tick and how they feel. We are so lucky to have this gift.
