I found this very interesting and beneficial as it coved so many different types of trauma that I have suffered through out my hole life I am starting to understand my self so much better thank you so much 🙏
Such a great episode...I don't even know where to begin. Thank you so much! ❤️
When I went through nursing school (over a decade ago), my class was required to read "Verbal Judo" by Jerry B. Jenkins. I suggest it to anyone who interacts with people.
I get the sense that being a Dark Empath is on a continuum. Practitioners in healthcare are forced to use that side of their empathy to move a patient forward. Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Therapists, Physicians, Nurses, etc. use this technique to end sessions, get out of a patient's room, and get "talkers" to stop talking. If they didn't, burnout in healthcare would be exponentially greater than it is currently.
Great podcast!
Really enjoy listening to you ladies. Very motivational 😍
Oh My, I just left a 5 year relationship with a spouse that showed all these symptoms she never showed any affection always wanted everything to be about her, blamed everything on me. When I decided to leave all she said was ok which made me feel spiritually abandoned that was my sign to leave and not turn back. Thank you for this because I honestly felt alone!!!!
I really enjoyed the segment to day Stephanie and Denise! I love the show.. alot of the stories from listeners, really stuck with me. I found comparison or parts I was able to relate to.. I truly love this show. I found it when I was ending a very dark time in my life and I didn't know where to turn for more understanding on myself being an empath. The enlightened empath community has become part of my tribe, I don't feel alone. Thank you both for doing this podcast; really making it very enjoyable and insightful.. love and light to you all and the rest of the tribe!
This was so powerful for me. I can't thank you enough. Having a narcissistic parent has been difficult. This really helped.
I enjoy this podcast a lot but it is frustrating to not hear you both at a similar volume. one is blowing out my speakers and the other is so quiet that at full volume I have to strain to hear. seems like maybe the mic qualities vary too much. not trying to be negative. just want to give the feedback so I can continue to listen. love you guys! would love to hear you both!
I just discovered that I’m an empath and am slowly learning what that means. This was my first episode and it was amazing! Can’t wait to listen to more!
I'm an empath my mother was an overt malignant narcissist. My father was an empath. his mother was a narcissist. My mother's father was a narcissist. I married a malignant narcissist. and now I'm trying to recover from 62 years of being gaslighted and just absolute scorching trauma. I've been in Psychotherapy 4 days a week for two years the none of it really addresses what you guys are talking about in this is so huge I'm so grateful to finally start getting some answers about who these people or to me I'm looking so forward to getting more information about how to heal thank you
just incredible. I'm so thankful for your show. I could listen to this episode over and over. how do I care for my crystals?
Samantha and Denise are wonderful!!! I love this episode on Ego Vs Intuiton.. the explanation and comparisons really helped to better understand the two. I will incorporate some of the different techniques Samantha mentioned. I really really (did I say) REALLY appreciate you all for starting this podcast/episode. It has helped me tremendously.. Peace and Blessings to you both!!
Ahhhhhh...my crew! So happy to have landed here on this day...Thanks for obeying the magic ripples!!! I've been asking for my Hogwarts/X-Men academy. I needed a practical classroom...unfortunately preferably without actual emergence into D-planess a.k.a the "paladiym"... feeling like star quarterback running an offensive play in the last moments of the Playoffs (which is huge seeing as I'm not partial to any sports) This has been my practical reality since 9yrs old...too real to ignore...I already feel like we've been friends forever...Like Amethyst and Rose Quartz. 🦏
I have just discovered that i am an empath. But I always have said i feel like im just an emotional sponge, and when i told my wife "i think im an empath" first she asked what that meant, and once i explained it she was like "oh yeah. Thats you to a T." My biggest conflict is that ive never really cared for chakras, or reaching the spirits of the dead. i am a Christian, and I have wanted to be a pastor for about 7 years now (as long as ive been a christian) and the Bible says not to partake in communing with the spirits of the dead. So i had myself so closed off to anything "psychic". But more and more, ive been realizing that hey, no not everybody feels so overwhelmed by emotions and feelings like i am. Still not really interested in learning about chakras, but I really want to learn to control my empathic ability so im not always overwhelmed. If you have ever listened to the podcast The Bright Sessions, basically i feel like Caleb. Im not gay, (i think i am bi, but i have a big avers
I have never related to anything this much. It’s amazing to feel so validated.
I am already in love with this podcast💓 Thank you so much ladies!!
Really enjoying your show thus far.
