The Empath Experience - Kathrin Deshotels - Bog

Unlike regular people, these individuals have a critical need for validation in order to feel that they are successful, the same way that humans need food to live, these people need to be consistent reassurance. That is where they get their strength from, feeling that they are loved and accepted by others, so when they do not eat, they are not in a healthy state of mind. So you can imagine how much chaos they have to live with, the emotional rollercoaster that they stay on, and the way that their lives are emotionally unstable. When you have the ability to understand others show compassion and truly feel what they are going through. In terms of their listening skills, they are the best listeners in the world. It is a natural skill for them; they actually love and enjoy being there to help others. They also have no problem when people come to them for advice and guidance. Do not be fooled; these individuals are very emotional; they have been known to experience ten emotions all within an hour, so be careful and watch yourself if you offend one of them. Many times, they have not become the masters of their emotions, so they will be all over the place emotionally, taking on the feelings of others without being able to balance it all, this is very overwhelming. They will get lost emotionally, and many times they will blame themselves for what someone else has done to hurt them. They constantly feel the need to be in possession of what they perceive as their needs or they will actually lose their minds very quickly. They are not good at processing any type of emotional confusion. The life of an empathetic individual can be very challenging and exciting from the teenage years up until mature adulthood. It is a very beautiful and fulfilling skill to have, especially when you learn to manage it. They have a really difficult time dealing with the reality that someone that they care about has lied to them or deceived them in some way. When they finally go through their spiritual awakening, it is usually the most frightening time in their lives, because this is when their spirit truly opens up. The connections to the spirit world, the enhanced senses, and being overwhelmed by all types of different emotions can be too much for certain individuals to handle. This process is very intense and causes many mood swings within the individual simply because they have no idea what is happening to them. Without having to experience a spiritual awakening, they end up seeking power and money in order to achieve true happiness. This is a very confusing and lonely time but can be enlightening and beautiful as well.
