What do you know about your own family dynamics?
Are there any empaths?
From a spiritual perspective it is almost impossible not to have at least one empath in a family.
Take for example, my own family.
I’m an empath, my son is an empath. My husband not. So my son would often feel my things (emotions not displayed), also my husband’s.
If you are an empath’s parent, it is VERY important not to show too much emotion, but instead speak it calmly. This takes mastering.
Family dynamics play out a lot. Clients in a psychic reading will often ask about their children or bring them up. From an empath, who feels as part of a reading, I will also ‘know’ what is going on.
ADHD, misbehaviour or psycotic episodes, for example, can play out for an empath. But only prior to them understanding it is NOT their emotions or ‘weight’s’ they are feeling or carrying.
How do we help empathic children?
You look after yourself.
You choose you. You do the inner work. You skill up.
When YOU learn the skills, you help your child.
If your partner/spouse is also an empath. They too, will need to master how to communicate emotions.
Here is a free download. Use it as a starting place. Get better at putting the NAME of the emotion into your conversations. Debrief in front of your empathic child or children. Teach them HOW to communicate.
When an empath child sees HOW to communicate using the emotion’s name, they STOP taking on the emotion. It validates it.
Same as when an empath sees, for example, an accident. They see the emotions that SHOULD be communicated, but because for example, they can’t hear the person. Or can’t see because they are too far away. They can only imagine what the person is going through. So take on the emotions because the emotions aren’t validated.
If however, the empath saw or heard the emotions, they would let it go. And therefore not be (emotionally) affected.
