71 - Overly Empathetic Much? - Buckle up, we're getting into how too much empathy is a toxic trait.

We think of empathy as always being a good thing, but like everything else, too much of a good thing can be toxic. I call "toxic empathy" (not a clinical term, BTW, just my term), the phenomenon that occurs when we empathize with others to the point that we can't feel our *own* feelings. We can't feel anger when people hurt us, or we order a cocktail we don't want because our friend doesn't want to drink alone, etc. etc. It robs us of our boundaries and our autonomy, often leading to self-abandonment. In this episode, I welcome marriage and family associate therapist Renee Tate back to the pod to talk about how it works and how we heal.If you'd like a one-on-one coaching session, birth chart reading, or tarot reading with Remy, go ⁠⁠here.Want to connect?
