Dear Betsy,
I've always been a sensitive, empathic person. And I've worked on avoiding people, places and situations that drain my energy in the outside world, but....my problem is that I "take on" my husband's negative feelings and moods. Sometimes when he comes home from work and is tired and stressed, I feel like I'm going through the same stress with him. I can't seem to shake it off until he feels okay again.
I feel like I'm suffering what he suffers, and I don't feel right until he can let go of his stress, anger or anxiety for the day. It has definitely caused further drama and conflicts in our relationship and family life and I feel like my health has suffered as a result.
He has definitely got further work to do on himself, he's undergoing therapy for some of his issues and we are working on our communication. But, sometimes he says to me, "Am I not allowed to ever have a bad day?" and I think he has a fair point.
Hope you can help.
All the best,
-Rebecca
The definition of an empath is someone who has the ability to feel what others are feeling, so it makes sense that one of the biggest problems for an empath is absorbing other people’s energy. Sure, we can minimize our time in the outside world, but what about when you're absorbing the energy of someone you live with...like your spouse? Today Betsy coaches the lovely Rebecca on how she can stop absorbing her husband’s negative energy at the end of the day. Plus, Betsy goes into some tools that any empath can use to change not only their energy for the better - but everyone else’s too!
