Can you tell the difference between empathy and sympathy? Many people can't, and it's vital to understand how these two emotions affect your life, especially if you're highly empathic. On today's episode of the Sensual Being podcast, hosted by Jolene Whiting, a pole dance teacher and yoga instructor, we unpack these subtle yet powerful emotional states. Jolene shares insights on how empathy involves deeply feeling another's emotions and sometimes even taking on their energy, while sympathy is more about recognising someone else's feelings from a distance. Listen as we explore how to protect your energy and prepare for emotional distress, using empathy as both a gift and a challenge.
Feeling overwhelmed by guilt in times of grief? You're not alone. This episode also delves into the often unhelpful emotion of guilt, particularly in the context of loss. By recognising guilt as a self-created and non-constructive thought pattern, Jolene provides practical tips on how to release it and focus on healing. Discover techniques like Tony Robbins' 90-second rule to manage intense emotions and shift towards gratitude. Plus, learn the importance of letting grief move through you and finding moments of joy and appreciation, whether it's through the companionship of a pet or the peace of nature.
