Re: Bel...yes it is true I am HIGHLY empathic Bel, your help is
very help FULL  ...The best part is knowing just what the hell it is, ja know?  What a weird thing to try to pin point as a stressor when you've had it your whole life.  How are you to know?  Digging and reading, and investigating and noticing and being mindful,  so much paying attention!  I need that bubble round me  I imagine it the most indescribable of materials, in flux and always vibrant Bel....

I used to Feel them...
Now I do both.  I guess the psychotherapy has made me more intellectually aware of my feelings.

To handle feelings isn't ...

... easy. As we know via different investigation in psycology and spirituality, patterns from childhood make us act the way we do - and to get balance we have to sort out these old patterns that stear us today. We have to face the reason to the patterns to be able to start building ourselves today.

Too sensitive tell that we're stuck in old destructive patterns -  - genio

Re: Bel...yes it is true I am HIGHLY empathic

Mysteria,

   Please email me and I will be happy to give you some suggestions.  Empathy is a tough thing to deal with because it's tough to identify what is what.  But once you are able to do that you can release alot of others stuff so you can work with your own stuff a great deal easier.

Bel...yes it is true I am HIGHLY empathic
a lot of times to my detriment.  I have peoples feelings all over me and they are hard to shake off.  They wear me way down causing a lot of my seclusive tendencies...  I am becoming more and more conscious of just how deeply I am over affected.  Do you have any remedies to help those who are over susceptive?

A little of both

Mind you I am also empathic, so I have to determine if they are truly mine of if I am picking something up from someone else.

I always suggest to feel YOUR feelings to the full measure even if they are painful at the time.  If you feel them and acknowledge them, you can move on from there.

I know the woo woo is a little strange to some but most people who are empathic are considered to feel things deeper than most.  Have you ever considered you might be a bit empathic adn possibly carrying somebody else's garbage on your shoulders as well?
