Building Healthy Relationships as an Empath, Sensitive & People Pleaser | VIDEO Lesson
Empaths, sensitive souls and people pleasers are always picking up on everyone else’s emotions and energetic pain. This can lead to emotionally draining relationships and unhealthy patterns. As a Spiritual Mentor & Intuitive Guide, Sydney is always sharing the importance of emotional healing in order to embody your spirit as you follow your soul purpose. This YouTube video shares how we tend to create unhealthy relationships and five tips to support you in building healthy relationships with the people in your life. Here is a little more information on the video before you press play.
We all desire to have healthy relationships filled with love, compassion, support and connection. How do you build a healthy relationship? As empaths and sensitive souls we easily feel the pain, frustration and stress that other people are moving through. We don't want to feel rejected by other people, so our fear can lead us to create unsupportive patterns of people pleasing. When we are people pleasing from an unhealthy space we can end up feeling overwhelmed, bitter, angry, stressed, and even emotionally exhausted. In this video I share 5 tips to help all empaths, sensitive souls and people pleasers build healthy relationships with the people in their lives.
When you notice yourself walking away from an interaction with someone else and you feel energetically drained, it’s because there is some sort of unhealthy attribute in your connection. We can’t go around blaming everyone else for why we feel the way we feel. It’s time to take ownership of your own emotions and energy and start learning supportive behaviours and habits to protect yourself.
Building a healthy relationship with the people in your life really begins with how you treat yourself and your willingness to prioritize self care exercises. If you are always jumping at the chance to please everyone around you, and your self love is last on the priority list then there are some changes you are needing to make.
Joy doesn’t only come from helping someone else reach happiness. You can easily lead yourself to feeling bitter and you’ll start resenting the people in your life if you are constantly prioritizing helping them and they aren’t wanting to take your advice. Learning how to have supportive boundaries in your relationships is extremely important in order to have a healthy connection with the people you love.
In life we are mirrors for each other, so if someone has acted in a way that makes you angry often this person is actually a mirror for your shadow self. Rather than shaming and judging the other person, when you feel triggered it’s a great opportunity to look internally. The people in our lives are often showing us where we carry past pain, when old wounds are being triggered, and how our fears are leading us in an unhealthy direction. When you learn to build healthy relationships with the people in your life you are able to support yourself through your own emotional and spiritual healing.
