Recently I was reading a book given to me by one of my loved ones; the book was about the beauty of empaths, but it also expressed how an empath can get drained pretty quickly if certain boundaries are not set.

Now you can imagine how hard it is for an empath to set boundaries; an empath feels into other people’s emotions– sympathy is where you just have compassion. But sometimes being an empath means that your start to take on fully; in other words, you start to embodied: other people’s feelings and what they are going through–depending on the situation, you may do this until you are completely drained, yet the world wants you to give more because it is expected of someone like you.

I was given the book after a recent decision to step away for a bit from working with “complex trauma groups”. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my work–if I must call it that–but I won’t deny, so much pain and trauma, started to get to my heart and soul. I have this saying…”charity starts at home”…which to me means, those closest to you…your loved ones, they should get the best of you. One should not give the best to others in an attempt for recognition, while those closest to us get the left overs or even worst. My decision is not a permanent one, but I have to replenish my soul, if I want to keep one.+++
