Balanced Friendships as an Empath
In this episode I talk to you about the topic of boundaries and in particular in reference to friendships.As empaths we are naturally caring and giving, always wanting the best for those around us, and of course we can feel when that is not the case. We tend to leap into action doing what we can to help, and support that person to feel better, because as they feel better we feel better too.What happens in the aftermath, is a clear indication of the health and balance of the friendship, once they are feeling back to their old self and the issue is solved, what actions do they then take?In this episode you will hear:What is a balanced friendship?A misleading myth about the role of being an empathWhat damage can be caused by overgiving and not receivingA powerful question to ask yourself: “if my friend is unable to hold space for me when I need it, am I okay with continuing to do it for them?”Another powerful awareness: if the tables were turned would it look similar?I trust this has served youAngel Blessings,NicoleGet in touch!
