Empaths unconsciously absorb others' energy to meet their own unmet needs, then feel responsible for fixing any tension they sense. This constant internal safety check drains them and prevents them from setting boundaries or operating in their power.
With empaths, what do you see as like their biggest struggle and the thing that really holds them back from being in their power?
The fact that they're tuning to other people in a way in order to get their own needs met, but they're not aware that that's why they're doing it. If you're an empath, you can feel other people's energies. You're very often like going into environments and you're asking yourself, is it safe? Is it safe for me to be here? And if there's tension and you identify tension anywhere, you've got a radar to where you can tell if there's tension or not and then you're tuned to it and then you think it's your responsibility to fix.
