The "Sensitive" Empath in Relationships

1/28/2022

0 Comments

 
Are you a sensitive type?
Feel deeply or intensely?
Easily pick up on the energy of others?

Well. Hi. I get it. And I have found that in relationships, especially the particularly close ones, our sensitive nature can create some unique challenges. Let's talk about it.

The Highly Sensitive Person
The Empath
The Intuitive

​... in relationships...


Being highly sensitive or empathic can make relationships feel hard, like a challenge, confusing, overwhelming. 
I totally get it.
​But I don't believe it has to be this way for us!


Scroll down and read through #1-5. 
These are things I certainly relate to and have heard from basically every single person I’ve worked with.
Do you relate?

.
.
.

1) You may feel overwhelmed or overstimulated in the presence and energy of others.

(and it can be hard to decode why or change how you feel.)
...

2) You may continuously detect the subtle shifts in the people around you.

(...and feel hyperaware or on edge, like you're picking up on a lot of information that you don't know what to do with.)
​...

3) You may find it hard to decipher your intuition from anxiety in the context of relationships.

(... and so it can be a challenge to make decisions or trust your feelings.)
...

4) You may tend to be the "fixer," caretaker, perfectionist or people-pleaser and want to help others (and never disappoint them).

(...but you can take on too much, overburden yourself, break your own boundaries and lose your sense of self.)
...
​

5) You may get tangled in attaching your worth and value to the validation and approval of others.

(...and feel a sense of ongoing insecurity or anxiety as you put your focus on other people vs. yourself.)
...

The Path to Freedom in Relationships for Sensitive Types

​​
  • Learn how to clearly differentiate your energetic space from others
 
  • Create a feeling of safety and home from within- it's your safe space
 
  • Use your sensitivities intentionally and constructively
 
  • Release a need to control, fix or receive approval from others
All of those things are easier said than done, I know. But you're worth it. It's worth learning it- and it is completely possible for you to feel that kind of freedom! Everything I do is built around processes like these- operating in the world as a sensitive, intuitive type and using it as our power and gifts. Follow along with me and hang out in my world (even if it's just the internet world). I have plenty of resources and ideas for you. ​❤️
