Do you feel like an empath?
You’re not alone. There are over 20 million people in the United States who identify as being empaths, or those with the unique ability to sense and absorb others’ emotions, typically making us extremely caring, compassionate, and understanding people. People differ fundamentally in how we perceive and process environment features with some being generally more and some being generally less sensitive.
One of the most fundamental traits found in humans and many species, are those more affected by what they experience than others.
According to sensory susceptibility researchers, Jay Belsky and Michael Pluis, “differential susceptibility,” refers to individual differences in how we respond to the environment we are exposed.
High sensitivity is seen in 20% who are more sensitive, or have greater susceptibility to sensitivity to experiences than others and thirty percent of HSPs are extroverts, meaning HSP and introversion are not mutually exclusive.
Empaths are highly sensitive people but not all highly sensitive people (HSN) are empaths. One percent of twenty percent of highly sensitive people are empaths.
Empaths with MDT have dysregulated reactions to maternal abandonment and, or abuse which we internalize as not to cause harm to others causing us mental, emotional and physical stress. Left unaddressed, over time, depression, rage, autoimmune, reproductive and digestive disorders require continuous attention and care. Acknowledging our pain gives us permission to redirect the care and consideration we would give to others before ourselves to ourselves first.
The mother wound is defined as, “pain, wounding, and trauma that's carried by a mother and inherited by her children. Most people have experienced this definition if maternal wounding. However, empaths get a double dose through inheritance and absorption of our mothers unmet maternal needs which we abbreviate ourselves to accomodate from conception.
