Amber Hollingsworth discusses the relationship between empathy and personal boundaries. She warns that empathy, when unmindful, can become enabling behavior that breeds resentment in the empathizer and ultimately erodes their capacity to feel empathy.
Empathy versus boundaries. Now, empathy, when it's done correctly, can be extremely helpful for yourself and for other people. But when empathy runs your eye and isn't really practiced mindfully, I guess I would say then it turns into enabling, which then turns into resentment on your part, which then actually robs you of your ability to have empathy anymore.
