Empathy With Boundaries (ORF Edition)

We don’t need to absorb people’s emotions to care for them. Mirror systems help us read state fast; choice keeps us regulated. Here’s a simple way to stay warm and clear.

Mirror → Attune → Choose

Mirror: “I’m noticing sadness/anger/anxiety.”
Attune: two slow exhales, soften gaze, feel your feet. Ask: What’s mine? What’s theirs? What’s needed?
Choose:• Support: “I’m here. One step we can take is __.”• Structure: “Let’s schedule this tomorrow at 10.”• Boundary: “I care, and I don’t have capacity right now.”

Daily micro-practice (3 minutes)Release jaw/shoulders, widen vision, label what arises (seeing, hearing, thinking, feeling), set an intention: warm and boundaried.

Red flags vs green flagsRed: urgency with no specifics, triangulation, moving goalposts.Green: clear asks, time limits respected, repair attempts.

Aftercare (90 seconds)Shake out, short walk, sip water. Tell your body: scene over.

LiturgyI can feel you without becoming you.My care is steady, my edges are kind.I choose response over reflex.
