The Wounded Empath & What Comes Next

🔥

I know we are on many different points of our personal spiritual journey. Today I want to start this conversation about what I call the Wounded Empath. It's important to know you are not broken - you're just unprotected.

Let's look at this closely -

You've probably been told your whole life that you're "too sensitive," "too emotional," "too much." Maybe you believed it. Maybe you tried to toughen up, to care less, to build thicker skin. And it didn't work.

But here's the truth that the mainstream world doesn't understand: Empathy is a spiritual gift, not a personality flaw.

The problem isn't that you feel too much. The problem is that you were never taught how to manage the gift you were born with. It's like being given a high-performance sports car with no driving lessons—of course you're going to crash.

Wounded empaths are people with a genuine energetic gift who were never taught:

How to tell their energy from someone else's
How to seal their field so they're not a sponge for everyone's emotional garbage
How to be compassionate without merging (with other’s energy)
How to use their gift consciously instead of being used by it

You're not weak. You're not broken. You're just operating a Ferrari with no training manual.

So in the coming weeks we'll unpack more of this. But for now I want those of you who are in this camp to look at the following areas and - give yourself some grace - simply look and see what the cost of living as a wounded empath has cost in these areas: (Dont' beat yourself up - just look and see)

These areas: Relationships, Career, Health, Self Trust, Your Gift

Please post here and share about it which I highly recommend. You can journal about it. Sharing here gives others the chance to see we are not alone. Your story told consciously and from a place of vulnerability and not victimhood will help others and help you.

We're not judging. We're listening, we're healing, we're supporting.
