    Hands down - the most helpful set of tools for the empathic person! It took me 54 years to learn how to deal with this aspect of myself. I can now say ‘no’ without explanation and without feeling guilt. I now make space for myself daily to take care of me. (Although I’ve committed to doing this, the old guilty feeling still creeps in from time to time....EXHALE) I’m still learning “that’s yours - not mine”. Thank you for all you do, John!

      100% agree! Great tools I’ll be using daily now.
      The guilt and worthiness is definitely my struggle.

    About the excellent idea, “That’s theirs, not mine” if I may add: it took me many, MANY years to figure out that so much of what I was feeling was others’ emotions, something that helped me a lot was asking myself, Is this my emotion or someone else’s? And, if it’s a heavy emotion, it’s most likely NOT mine. Please, fellow empaths, take care of yourselves! 🙏💝 and thank you so much for making this video, dear John! 😍🙏

    Thank you for talking about this. I've always been empathic, and though I've learn how to shield myself and limit interactions with certain people, I've found the increasing fear and anger that is everywhere in recent years to be overwhelming. Even quick jaunts to the market can be uncomfortable. If I may add two tools to the list? Nature heals! Get out into nature as much as possible! And, it may sound weird, but if I feel overwhelmed after being out, I've found that if I take a minute before stepping back into my house to say "I'm leaving everything out here. Only my own emotions enter here" it really helps.

    • @dod2304
      @dod2304 Před rokem +2

      yes! Doing small things like that, "I'm leaving everything out here...." is a conscious, intentional setting of boundaries. Here's a thought....how can you set an intention before you go out so you don't pick up others' disturbing emotions? Many different ways. Intent is everything. I sometimes put a particular color light around me like a bubble. And, set the intention that anything harmful or inappropriate for me or not meant for me will just slide off this bubble of light. If there's anything that my higher self/Creator says might be beneficial to me in some way, then..go ahead. And, please help me understand what I need to learn fromthis. If you're not sure an emotion is yours or you're picking it up from someone else, an easy exercise is put both hands on your belly/third Chakra. Cover as much of yourself as you can. ie. one hand not covering the other, but flat on your belly, one higher or lower than the other. If after a few breaths you feel the emotion "dial down" or even stop, you're probably picking it up from someone else.

    Thank you so much for talking about this. I have such a hard time saying no to people, especially because I grew up as the scapegoat in a very abusive Narcissistic family. I went no-contact over Covid and walked away from my parents abuse. Now, I feel so guilty b/c I am getting smeared by them. I just do not have any more energy to give. It really was costing me my own mental health. So, anyway thanks again.

    Wonderful, thank you John. At 54 years of age, I'm finally understanding why I feel the way I feel, and have felt throughout my entire life. In my younger years, I was an aspiring musician. It was INCREDIBLY hard for me to get up on stage and perform in front of people. I could feel the thoughts of everyone in the audience. To the point where it hampered my performance and my progression as an artist. Hearing you speak about this subject is very comforting, calming and helps to provide clarity and understanding. Thank you.

    Came here from Next Level Soul. I am also a recovering Catholic school child. I stopped going to church after my teens. Been a bit lost until covid area. I had physical issues and visuals. Dr. Diagnosed me with MS. I don't have MS. It spun me into Reiki and healing. I feel so much, physically and empathetically. I absolutely love healing ppl and facilitateing meditations and sound baths. Just wish I could have known about this earlier, feel like i wasted a lot of my life unheald and un happy.

    Thank you John! This is a really great video. I can "check all the boxes" so to speak. I really don't like to be in crowds and I have often said I get along with animals better than I do with most people and usually prefer to be with animals. I had to learn to say NO to a lot of things because some people took advantage of my good nature. I was also married to a narcissist who constantly put me down. It took me way too long to walk away from him and get divorced. I live in a senior and disabled building and do tend to keep to myself with my little dog most of the time. I cry easily when someone or an animal is hurting. I do have some friends I enjoy being with and we help each other when needed if we are able. I could say a lot more on this subject but I will stop for now. Thanks again John!😊❤

    Thank you for validating that disconnect I can feel, like I don’t even belong here, the rat race to earn $, the free will that leads people to narcissism & even cruelty. Sometimes it sometimes feels like I mis-incarnated. So I have to trust that my presence is for a reason and carry on as best as I can, the calm in the storms of life.

    The way you descibe it, I am definitely an empath. This is how I am put together. But I avoid to call myself an empath, becauce it sounds like I am a rare kind who is able to feel empathy. But most people have that feeling. It is one of those words it is hard to know what people mean, when they say it. And frankly, many times I don`t feel much empathy for other people, because I am exhausted, by theire feelings. Something like that. But I feel theire feelings! I have started to be very aware of that. And I work on taking my own feelings as serious as I take other peoples feelings. Remind myself to be my own number one :) ...well number two. My cat comes first. She is my responsibility. I love her.

    "Let go, he'll catch ya." Also an awesome quote John. I felt that like an impact to my chest. 😳🥹 Thank you for your teachings. I have no words to express how thankful. I just discovered you a few days ago and I haven't been able to stop watching (and rewatching). I watched your videos while I worked on Friday.
    On the first day I found you, I listened/watched your videos for ALL 8 hours of my shift!! 😂🙏🏻🥹 I had to run an errand during my lunch break, and I continued to listen to you in the car and whole running my errands. 🙏🏻💖 I have never listened to/watched ANYTHING for that long in my life and I cannot believe how much I am learning and how much you are confirming for me. You have cleared so much fog, helped to deprogram the brainwashing, and shined light on the darkness so I can begin to see. Thank you. ✨🙏🏻✨
    I have ADHD, and have issues with focusing on information long enough to retain it. I especially have time with boring topics, where my brain will actually fight me like a petulant toddler and refuse to acknowledge the information I'm trying to retain. 😂 I learned so much, even while I was being distracted or disrupted - which has never happened before. 😮🥹 So this is basically scientific proof that your videos are freaking phenomenally magical. ✨🙌🏻✨
    I tried to just listen along, while I worked, but quite often I would get distracted from work by things that you would say that would resonate so deeply that I would immediately have to stop to take notes or replay something... or get Kleenex for the random, uncontrollable fits of crying (Empath, table of 1).
    Thanks again. ✨🙏🏻✨🥹 I REALLY MUST go to bed. It's exactly 1:00 am right now. 😂😂🎉
    ... Right after I rewatch the 10 minutes. 😂
    Goodnight, world. Peace, love, and healing energy. ✨💖🙌🏻💖✨

    Wow. This whole video is so spot on!
    I am highly empathetic. One of my earliest memories was me, at age two, standing next to my infant brother's basinette, crying along with him. 😅 I'm laughing at that memory now, but throughout my life, being highly empathetic has been HARD to say the least.
    I feel other's physical pain. If I am around a sick person, I start getting all the symptoms of their illness including a runny nose, sore throat, pain, or whatever it may be depending on their illness. After I leave that person, usually within 15 minutes, the symptoms go away.
    I pick up on other people's energy, moods or emotions - no matter where I am - and even from videos online. I have often said, "I should have been an actor, because I can cry on cue". (At the same time, thinking, "I could never be an actor because of my poor self-image or low self-esteem.) I cry easily when I see someone/anyone crying or upset because of some tragedy in their life.
    I literally laughed out loud when you said, "Do you like being with animals more than people?" "That's because animals have unconditional love." SO TRUE!!!
    I wonder if the majority of people who struggle with anxiety or panic attacks are EMPATHS? In 2001, I began having very frightening, full-blown panic attacks. It didn't help that one of the office managers where I worked punched the wall that was only inches from my where I sat... along with other drama and stress at work AND home. 15 minutes later, I had my first panic attack that landed me in the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack. I dealt with those for years, even having to go on disability because they got so bad. I'm happy to say that I haven't had a panic attack for over six years now. My life is much more peaceful, and I've learned how to deal with fear - mostly by not having it in my life.
    I've been in three serious relationships - with narcissists! My current marriage (ten years married this Sunday, and fourteen years total) has been the best relationship in my life.
    I never have issues when I'm at home, because my husband and I have created a very peaceful and loving environment. HOWEVER, when I'm away from home, like out shopping, I can pick up on the energy/emotions of others, and too often, I've ended up bringing those emotions home with me! So, what you (John) said about BREATHING OUT and LETTING GO -- I NEEDED THAT! I will practice that, and do it when I need it - not wait until I get home. That is going to help me so much. THANK YOU!
    Self-worth or self-doubt has always been a struggle for me. I thought I was doing better, but my husband still STOPS ME when I start apologizing for things that I don't need to apologize for. This goes back to my childhood, to my Catholic upbringing, and being raised by en emotionally detached mother, and being in a church cult for 23 years. And perhaps all the years being with narcissists. I will incorporate the tools you've shared because I know they will help, and I want to do better for myself! What you said about taking charge, and literally saying "That's theirs, not mine" is so simple, and so very helpful!
    Thank you for sharing your wisdom, and thank you for being YOU. I look forward to making those subconscious changes that will change my present and my future. 💞 ~ Trisha

    The more i hear about this the more sense everything makes. My folks were good people but very dysfunctional at marriage. By the time i was 15 i was wondering why they stayed together; they could not imagine divorce as a solution because of their religious indoctrination, Dad had studied in seminary 3 years then quit because he decided he wasn't going to be able to live a celibate life. This made him ostracized by his folks since he was the last son in the family, their last chance to have a priest in the family. BTW i am SO grateful he did that lol! He had no good model to help him navigate marriage, his father was an alcoholic that had to be picked up by his kids from the bar every day. Long story, maybe i should write a book? My empathic "gift" has been a mixed bag, i have found myself drawn to particularly troubled souls, sometimes to my own hurt. I have always been more comfortable being alone, far more than most people i know. It's nice to be able to realize i am NOT the only one even if that sounds a bit sick to me lol. I am new to this channel and i really appreciate your work it is very relevant to me personally. Be well and God bless you!

    I have always been empathic but lived a life filled with trauma that started young and I did not know how to handle it. So I became increasingly isolated . Depression and anxiety just never ended and I just didn't want to bother people with same old same old. Now I dont really talk to anyone regularly. Noone close in my life and it hurts bad being almost 60.
    I know that I do not deserve to be in this situation. But these last few years I gave into frustration resentment and anger. This is a horrible feeling and I'm stuck trying to get out of this alone . I feel cut off from God.
    My birthday is 6/24 which was John the Baptists birthday. No idea if that means anything

Although I did know that about myself, you helped put it in a different light, which made me come to some realizations. I also identified with the part about emotions feeling out of control. I just realized it happens most when my kids are fighting, and I pick up on their anger.

    Thanks for pointing out that there are more amazing folks with sincere, caring intent than we might notice in the busyness world. Being a person that feels deeply about how others feel is a gift I cherish today yet that is not how I always felt.

    Bang on, guy, but I don't fear crowds. I can go anywhere and be with anyone quite easily, but I don't feel like I'm a part of what's going on. I always feel separate from all of it. Even when I join the activity. I'm not upset about it, but I have often wondered why that is. I don't hate anyone, nor am I upset with anyone. I like people. I just wonder why I feel so separate. Do you suppose I just haven't yet found people I can feel close to? Just wondering.

    I feel more comfortable around animals than I do. People sometimes which is animals give off laugh almost almost like a neutral. I don't know how to put it in words. People I think as an impact. Their motions are kind of like a rocking horse to me. Where sometimes 1 minute you'll get this sense of positive. And then sometimes you'll get a mixture of a negative in there too I don't know how to explain it in words.
    I've known people to come up to me and. We'll start talking and I'll get a sense about the person and who they are a little bit their personality, what their intentions are just by feeling their energy. It's almost like a plug in to their energy. And then I get like watching a little mini series a little bit. And then it goes away II used to be very into reading Terra cards. People's fortunes all kinds of things but I left that stuff behind. I had an experience once. I must have opened up something and I was attacked by something invisible. It hit me and left a mark on me for a few days so I don't.
    For me, play around with that stuff anymore. It's just not for me. It's just not a good idea. You know, and ever since I gave that up? I haven't had that experience since I don't really know how to explain that 1 I do and I don't I just don't want to be in that world anymore. Cause I found it to be very dand I. Take you down a hole, sometimes not everyone.
    That can lead you away from your true self. I guess that's just my experience, but I get it. And also animals are just so cool and I just wanted to say. Did you know that trees can talk? I know? It sounds funny. Not talk like you and I, but if you you were talking about seeing energy on the sides of the trees. Sometimes when you put your hand on a tree and you connect your energy fields, you can actually. Talk to the tree. I do all the time. I'm just nuts lol Thats what I did to a tree. And um the tree actually told me it was sick so I would visit this tree. And just kind of touch it and give my energy to it. And then over time, I notice. The tree was getting healthier and healthier. And now it's huge. I just thought I'd share that.

    Thank you John I will try and use those tools. I always thought I was a empath but now I know I am. Something you didn't mention is the empathy with the suffering of animals. I look into the eyes of say a homeless dog and feel its pain and my eyes well up. I try and help/donate to their care when I can and I know I can't save them all but do you have any guidance to offer?
    Thanks John.

    Really happy to have found your channel. Thank you for this video. I know Im an empath and lately as my heart opens more Im finding this even more difficult as I feel like an open channel. I really want to be open to spirit as amazing things happen when I do but how can I/we tread that fine line and ground quickly to stop feeling takeover or overwhelmed but people. Can we open on our own terms and close down when necessary I wonder.?

    I will pick up premonition emotions. What happens is I go into fits of crying for no reason. Then I find out someone has died. Sometimes it happens weeks or days prior to it it happning. And although its not always my loss. Its a tragedy for someone I know. I also get physical symptoms and warning dreams. Even when I'm aware it's not my emotions can be uncontrollable.

      the belief it is "uncontrollable" creates that experience. Change the belief and you change the experience.

    I am very curious in listening to the descriptive and identifiers of an “empath” and they sound d the same as co-dependency, enmeshment, dysfunction, focusing on everyone and everything outside of the self-because of conditioning and programming (learning) in childhood, school, church, society. I would love to hear the distinctions between these things that distinguish empathy from co-dependency/enmeshment. I am serious and sincere in asking this. Thanks.

    • @therecoveringcatholic
      @therecoveringcatholic  Před 9 měsíci +3

      Many of the conditions you mention are indeed symptoms many empathic people suffer through. I think the confusion comes in the label "empath" I don't think it's a delineation that's entirely accurate. Labels such as this create a polarized thinking (you either are or aren't) I think it's more a sliding scale. We all have some level of empathy some are more than others I have run into many who fit all the criteria of a highly empathic person. I use the label in this video because it has become a term commonly used.

    are you aware of any empath studies. i feel like it should be a pretty easy study. put a shade between the empath an a chair. rotate the person or thing in that chair. ask the empath to express the feeling they are receiving from the chair position.
    i see studies on empathy but that snot the same.. but there must be studies on Being an Empath , right?
    just wondering if you have that stuff at hand to share.
    labels to help explain ones feelings and how to deal with those feelings is great. coping mechanisms are needed and humans love labeling things. giving things proper noun names gives things power to us.
    it's pretty cool just how much we can manifest in our mind and act in the tangible world things to help us cope with existence and the existential dread that comes with it.
    thank you for sharing

    My biggest problem is that when I'm too sympathetic with another person's pain or problem, it gets transferred to me and the person stops feeling the pain right away. This has happened a few times and I don't like it. So now I stop empathizing with another person. What you said "it's theirs not mine" hopefully it will wokr as well as exhaling. I tell myself too that I do not want to take in other people's pain without my permission because it doesn't do any good since the other person will just recreate another problem. Any thoughts about that why that is happening? Anyway thanks John.

      may I offer this? I heard him describe pretty clearly what he was hoping for when he called his BIL. I take him at his word, because, I've never witnessed him not being as truthful and factual as possible when he shares his experiences. I'm wondering why you think he might have other agendas he didn't reveal in his story? I think it's always best to take people at face value when they show you that's who they are and their intent. Namaste, the Divine in me sees and honors the Divine in You. ❣

      I just remembered you mentioning Jeshua avoided the Essenes because they wanted him to do something he wasn’t going to do. I think that’s what I es looking for: how Jeshua handled situations where demands and stuff of that nature were coming at him. That was very helpful to hear you say that. Thanks! 😄
