The Thriving Empath At Work

I'm Trevor Lewis, author of "Thriving As An Empath: Empowering Your Highly Sensitive Self," and since 2013, I'm on a mission to help other empaths learn more easily the lessons I had to learn the hard way. Want to thrive at work? Recognize that it's not your own emotions that you are processing. Your manager may control your pay, but your true boss is a much higher authority. The job you are actually doing is very different from the one they think they are paying you for.

Thank you Trevor as always you are a lighthouse🙏🤍 thank you for making us feel heard, seen and less alone in this work audio

I continue to follow your work. Much appreciation as it is helping me.

This was a validating talk of my prior experience as a Teacher. It makes so much sense now. TY!

You said it 3 times but I could use 3 more...the job you are doing at work is very different from the one they think they are paying you for. 🤯 Thank you.

Thank you. I took a five year break from any organizations (was writing alone at home) for five years due to a stress-based illness. This past fall I was told by God that I can’t do my real work unless I’m around people. Healing. Loving. So I’m back in it. Very difficult but trying to remember my “real” job.

Thank you 🙏🏼 this was really helpful!

Incredibly helpful talk!

Thank you for this. I guess even working remotely, we also tend to absorb colleagues' emotions through emails?
And even a more important question from me please...how can i deal from the confusion and fatigue (feeling drained) arising from my tasks? Can i also see it as me sending energy to the energy of the tasks, and not absorbing the energy of my work? Do tasks have energy? I absolutely get drained by and feeling confused just by tending to my tasks and am so tired by the end of the day, even realising that other people do much more and stays energised. I have healthy time management systems in place, also to focus attention. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you 🙏

Makes so much more sense now! Thanks!

Very insightful. Thank you 🙏🏾 11/18/20

I've never thought of myself healing the work environment. Interesting perspective.

I love this guy. just listening to one 4 min session. what am impact this is.

I will keep this very important point in mind - it is likely not all "my" stuff, but rather, "their" stuff. I work in the helping professions as a supervisor, so I pick up on my staff's emotional status easily after years of working together (over a decade in two cases). I have felt a bit out of sorts of late, but your point about being there is in and of itself a healing activity and important work helps me reframe that sensation. Thank you for this gift.

I see you and the light within you. Be well. 🤲🏻❤️🤲🏻

Thank-you, thank-you for your message. I really needed to hear that today. Just by being there, I’m raising the vibration for everyone around me at work. I’m working on being stable right now, as everything said to me that is negative &

This was very helpful.. I’m trying to learn how to detach other people’s energies and problems.
Any advice?

Helpful insights. Thank you.
