Does Trauma Create Empaths? Let's talk about it!

Have you ever wondered if being an empath is something that can be diagnosed? In this episode, we explore the common belief that being an empath is caused by childhood trauma or dysfunction. While this is a popular opinion, I share a different perspective—what if being an empath is actually a sacred gift rather than something to be "explained away" or "fixed"?We’ll also dive into:✨ Why mainstream psychology doesn’t recognize "empath" as a diagnosis—and why that might be a good thing.✨ The truth about trauma—while being an empath doesn’t come from trauma, your sensitivity can make you more susceptible to it.✨ A powerful exercise to help you feel into which belief resonates with you most.This episode is all about shifting the narrative around sensitivity, so you can own your empathic gifts with confidence.
