You would not believe the amount of people that come to me with some form of psychic empathy. As I’ve stated before, everyone is born with some degree of psychic ability, but as we grow and move throughout the world, we lose it. Reading this, you very well may be a psychic empath but you don’t know what that means or how to control psychic empathy.
Simply put, those with psychic empathy have the ability to pick up on the energy, feelings, and the emotion of others and their environment without any visible or audible cues. As you can imagine, this leaves the psychic empath wide open and if they’re not careful to ground and shield themselves, it can morph into a sort of psychic hyper empathy wherein they may develop a form of agoraphobia because it’s easier to stay in the confines of your home than to deal with the barrage of feelings that await outside.
I would like to mention that psychic empathy is much different than general empathy—i.e., the ability to empathize with another person that may be going through some things in their personal lives. What separates the psychic empath is their innate ability to detect inaudible and non-visual cues that someone else may be feeling. Many empaths describe this as just a gut feeling of knowing that a person is feeling a different way without any real proof that they are. The problem is that this ability to feel and know often leaves the empath feeling completely drained, tired, and even exhausted because they’re unknowingly picking up and holding onto the energies of others. In essence, they take ownership of energy that is not their own.
One of the major things I notice when assisting psychic empaths is they seem to be extremely polite and do not like to rock the boat. They do not like conflict or people to be mad at them, so they have a high tolerance for letting people talk down to them or treat them like some sort of a doormat. They often sacrifice the way the feel so that others are not uncomfortable.
My best friend Tasha is a psychic empath. She has always had trouble being in group settings and dealing with conflict head on. She has a volatile relationship with her mother who is very headstrong and does not mince her words and still, in some regards, treats Tasha like a pre-teen. Tasha also has trouble navigating group settings because she the energy of such environments is too much to handle. She was perfectly content staying at home and relished in alone time. I finally was able to identify that she was experiencing psychic empathy (and even some symptoms of psychic hyper empathy) and I gave her some shielding and grounding techniques to protect her energy and assist her in not taking on energy that was not hers. She eventually got into crystals and this has proven to help her immensely.
I will stop here and say that Tasha did not do this just with grounding and crystals; she did seek the assistance of a mental health professional, and this is also something I’m a huge proponent of for those with psychic empathy.
If you do believe you are a psychic empath, it’s always a good idea to undergo some alone time away from other so you can relax, relate, and release and sort through all of that energy.
