HOW TO BE AN EMPATH WITH MUSCLE Janny Juddly, The Therapist in my Pocket's Podcast
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Janny invites us to have a think with me about a term she hears lots of us use. Usually about ourselves in relation to a degree of sensitivity we carry. We talk about picking up everyone else’s energy. Of everyone walking right through us. We often say we feel quite helpless in the face of it.
The term we often use to describe ourself is Empath. And the Internet and bookstores are full of advice about how to manage being this sensitive to others’ energy and emotions in a world full of what those same givers of advice tend to call toxic people or even energy vampires.
It's worth noticing, by the way, that it’s always the other person’s fault.
It’s incredibly hard work being an empath, isn’t it?
Getting it all, feeling it all, absorbing it all? Picking up the pain of a stranger so deeply as they walk by that your entire body hurts? Feeling dizzy and sick in a crowd or café from the energy coming your way?
For several years, one of the tasks Janny had as Director of the therapy training at Leicester Uni, was to help young therapists in training to use their empathic skills differently. To build empathic muscle and emotional resilience. To transform a liability into a strength.
She shares some of the key secrets here.
First, the bad news. Empaths are not empathising at all; they are actually identifying.
Listen to the full episode to understand the difference, and how to become an Empath with Muscle!
