Becoming an Aware Empath: Trusting (and Strengthening!) Your Empathic Abilities
Are you an unaware empath?
Yeah, I used to be, too. It’s more than a little overwhelming.
If you an an unaware empath, you will experience these things:
Getting headaches and stomachaches, but only around certain people.
Feeling overwhelmed in crowds, with no particular reason.
Suddenly having your mood change (for instance, suddenly feeling very “on edge” or angry, when you were perfectly happy, and there is no reason for that change in you).
Having certain symptoms or even illnesses, but only around a particular person.
Feeling very anxious and overly alert in public transportation situations
This can make you feel like you are crazy (you aren’t!).
I even went to a therapist many, many years ago and was trying to explain all of these things to her. She diagnosed me with bipolar disease.
I am the least bipolar person you will ever meet, but that was her answer for all that I was explaining. Thank goodness I had enough self-esteem and sense to walk out of there and refuse that diagnosis.*
I’ve worked with SO many empaths that have had similar things happen - that were told they had some mental illness, when, in fact, what they have is a finely-tuned emotional and energetic system that is absorbing everything from everyone around them all the time.
And they can’t control it.
This is why I developed by 4 A’s of Awareness process for empaths!
When you are able to understand this simple process of becoming aware of whose emotion you are feeling and then knowing if (and how) you need to act on it, you will be so much more aware and in control of you empath abilities!!
