Aaron Doughty explains individuation for empaths: learning to feel safe in your own body and separate your energy from others'. Many empaths expand their field as kids to manage household tension, then keep absorbing everyone's emotions. The work is experiencing that separation inside yourself.

The most powerful ways for an empath to heal is to understand and to learn what is called the process of individuation. Individuating and feeling safe within their own center of body, within their own frame, and understanding what is called self versus other. What is their own energy versus what is other people's energy, and not taking responsibility for other people's energy and how other people think and feel. Because what happened is earlier on in childhood, normally the empath has expanded their energy field to include mom and dad dad and everyone in the family. And then what happens is there's a feeling of responsibility of having to mitigate the tension in the household. So one of the most powerful things for an empath to do is to feel inside of their own body and to feel the separation between them and other. If you want to learn how to go through the individuation process, one thing I'm going to be doing is in the upcoming 21-day challenge, we're going to be doing a workshop on the individuation process.
