Empaths

Empaths are people that literally feel the emotions of others. Hollywood hypes this in some science fiction. One TV series called them “Betazoids” and they are used to detect deceit or other feelings in people they are dealing with.

Science in general does not accept that there are people with this ability. Most who have it were born with it and view it more as a curse than a blessing. Empaths can tell if you are depressed even when you are acting chipper, or angry even when you are pretending not to be bothered.

Far from the loving and enlightened Hollywood depictions, empaths often avoid public places. They tend to have few friends and can get confused between their own feelings and those of others. They are frequently traumatized by the bombardment of overwhelming emotions coming at them from all directions.

Every one of these difficult incoming feelings can be upsetting. Very sensitive empaths can be driven to agoraphobia, unable to leave their homes. They deal with a whole set of unique issues that science can't even fathom, let alone help.

Simply going shopping can leave one exhausted, as if they had been working all day at heavy labor.

Empaths are often alone and have no idea that there are others like themselves.

They can't understand why going into public is so exhausting.

It is because they are constantly fighting off the bombardment of emotions coming in.

There are far too many unhappy people out there.

They like to help people, and often that help is actually a way to find relief from somebody's distressed emotions. They want to turn off the “noise” or unpleasant feelings so they can have some peace. Just imagine you are hearing loud foul music nonstop.

Empaths often fall into relationships with people that need serious mental help. They want to help, but find themselves in unbearable relationships. It is common for them to get involved with narcissists or others with personality disorders.

It confuses them, their partner acts and says they love them, but words and actions don't match what the empath senses. Narcissists are naturally attracted to empaths as they seek people that are easy to torment and control.

A narcissist will get immense sadistic pleasure thwarting their partner's attempts to please them. The harder they try to help the worse the narcissist will behave. The narcissist will push their buttons and when the victim gets angry or upset, they love to point out how rotten or unstable he is for being upset.

You can gain protection, but it takes work. The accumulated discordant energy in your systems needs to be cleared. It is this energy that leaves you open to being afflicted by the overwhelming emotions of others. Learning to put up shields is often only a stop-gap measure, it can help in some situations.

It is like you are an open window and the rain and wind comes in, but when your system is cleared and at peace the window is then closed. You can still see outside but totally free from the effects of feelings that are not yours.

Inner Influencing® is the best tool for this clearing. It takes consistent effort, but it is easy and straightforward once you understand it. If there are a thousand traumas, each one needs to be cleared — and as more are extracted, you turn down the dials of distress and your life becomes more and more as you want it to be.

When a narcissist can no longer control you, they will move on and find another victim. And a lasting benefit is that with each trauma you clear, you become far less susceptible to accumulating it again.
