I've often thought that I could be an empath, but when I went to therapy, I started wondering if maybe my empathic habits were just coping mechanisms that helped me survive my childhood. But maybe—it could be both? Happy to see you writing, glad to support your work, and hoping to learn more from your series here at Unspoken. <3
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment Miao. Yes, empathic habits can indeed be coping mechanisms used to seek social support. At the same time, they could become an authentic part of who you are. I’m really grateful for your support and so glad the piece spoke to you. I can’t wait to share more soon! ❤️
Reading this again and it feels like an ode to all the empaths in this world, those of us who wear our hearts on our sleeves and rarely feel seen. Thank you for this beautiful piece Esther! I am so excited for all else that will follow on this lovely column!! ♥️
I'm truly honored that this piece creates a space where fellow empaths can see themselves and feel comforted. Thank you for your kind words Adia! I have a feeling this will spark some meaningful conversations among us ♥️
