Empathy is a profound trait that allows individuals to connect with others on a deep emotional level, but it can be a gift and a challenge. While having this attribute can help to establish fulfilling relationships, it can also result in emotional exhaustion and compassion fatigue. You may even notice a sensitivity to the emotions of those around you, feeling deeply affected by their experiences, leading to the need for solitude to recharge your personal energy and sense of autonomy.
Therapy often involves learning to navigate emotions, set boundaries, and recognize the early signs of emotional overload. With time and practice, you will learn to effectively manage your unique abilities, practice self-care, and maintain healthy relationships without becoming overwhelmed. Holding space for yourself will increase your energy for others.
I use an integrated approach drawing from psychodynamic, emotionally-focused, relational/attachment, narrative, and existential modalities. Together, we will explore how you can use new insight to make conscious choices and live more authentically, filled with a renewed sense of purpose. Call today for your complimentary consultation!
