Boundaries....Got em? No? Struggle with them? That's ok. Most Empaths do.
If you've worked with me, you know my favorite question I ask my clients to ask themselves is "Why is that fair?"
Why that question? Self-compassion and kindness are a muscle. You gotta work it with questions like this!!!! 10 reps with the heavy weight of fairness!!!! Empaths love fairness. We just need to learn to turn that fairness on ourselves!
In that spirit and in preparation for next week's Empath Support Class where we break boundaries into step-by-step ingredients, here is why it's fair you struggle with boundaries.
1️⃣ You feel other people’s emotions as your own.
When your body absorbs someone else’s feelings, it’s hard to tell where you end and they begin. Of course, boundaries feel blurry!
2️⃣ Saying “no” feels like abandoning someone.
Empaths are driven by compassion. Setting a limit can feel like you’re letting someone down, even when you’re protecting your energy.
3️⃣ You pick up on the tiniest emotional cues.
A sigh, a tone shift, a look — you notice everything. This makes you anticipate needs before anyone asks, which leaves zero room for your own boundaries.
4️⃣ Conflict hits your system harder than most.
Disapproval or tension feels intense, almost physical. Avoiding conflict becomes a survival strategy, not a weakness.
5️⃣ You were often the emotional caregiver growing up.
Your sensitivity made you the one who soothed or stabilized others early in life. That pattern follows you into adulthood.
So yeah!! Its hella fair! Wanna shift it? Craving some fairness from yourself?
Let's do it!
