#47 Are You An Empath Or Is That Just Your Trauma Response?

Into The Work: Therapy For Empaths And Seekers

Have you ever wondered if this whole Empath thing is a sham, and your just experiencing a heightened vigilance due to past traumas?
Well, you are not alone. This can be confusing for many of us because most people have experienced some kind of trauma response in life and it may seem difficult to differentiate your sensitivities.
In this brief episode we will clear up the confusion and highlight how you can know if your experience is a programmed trauma response that may be overwhelming your system or if you are actually an empath.
The discussion includes:

• Definition of Empath
• Science Behind Empathy And Being An Empath
• How Highly Sensitive People Differ
• How Trauma Amplifies Empathic Traits
• The Empath's Experience VS Trauma Response
• The One True Way To Know The Difference
