Thriving As An Empath 7: Givers & Takers

As sensitive people, we will often anticipate the needs of others which of course will attract those with many needs to be filled. Adam Grant would call these folks "takers". Let's explore how to navigate the dance of givers and takers and find a more enjoyable way.

That was very good for me to listen to. Thank you 🙏🏼 I'm an empath and I really, Really want to finally learn to set healthy boundaries in relation to takers. It seems like I've been a magnet for them 🙃

Wow, this made a huge impact.
Thank you again. 🙏

I love your genuine laughter Katrina. I am an empat. For 20 years in my relationship with my ex I struggled with co-dependence. I thought since I was able to feel my emotions and his unexpressed emotions, it was my job to keep the peace in the relationship. I had let go of fully climbing my mountain, took him on my back or worse enable him to climb his mountain providing all my energy to fulfill his long list of chores to do. A child came into our lives. He found it difficult to give to a taker (the child) so decided to split and that way have some time on his own to make sure to accomplish his tasks and live for himself. At first I was devastated. But now that I have done healing work, as an empat, I am benefiting from the feelings of being autonomous, taking care of my own soul, still giving to my child but teaching him to be autonomous too. Your series on empat and your ability to talk and communicate really vibe with me. Thank you for sharing you. P.s. I love the puppy seg way.

Always enlightening Katrina!
Much gratitude! 🙏🏼✨💖
