Is the question that my clients have often asked.
The story of my life has led me to learn more about the key area of high sensitivity.
This is an area deprioritised by our current understanding of what constitutes reliable information - knowing and sensing.
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
Of course, none of us can entirely know how another person feels.
In fact, “I know how you feel” may well be up there as one of the most insensitive statements one person can make to another.
It makes the other person feel as if you are comparing their experience to your own.
That as of you are claiming their experience.
How did I know, is not about me knowing how my clients feel.
It’s me feeling how they feel.
It’s me connecting to the events of their lives that give away unwanted emotions
It’s me diving down to their level where together we’ll rise up.
Rising up from anguish.
Rising up from the pain.
Because one thing that I am so sure about is, that we all deserve to lead the best version of our lives.
We are worthy of anything that we can give ourselves.
We are who we can be.
