As one who has been through a lot of therapy, I am SO grateful for the empathic people in that field. They changed my life and helped me in ways I can't begin to explain.<br /><br />It seems to me that most creatures (humans included) are empathic. Humans have it trained out of them... we are taught to ignore what we sense, because it is confusing. Horses seem to be incredibly empathic. Sometimes, it felt like not only did Sunny (the horse) sense what I was feeling, but when it was the worst, he would absorb it. He held the pain for me so I could understand and process it better.<br /><br />Thank you for this. Sending love as you grieve the moving on of your friend, and as you consider your own moving on.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609613967033394629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920971397380941204.post-66564199765890008032012-06-22T16:54:19.069-04:002012-06-22T16:54:19.069-04:00Unfortunately, it is the really "dark" s...Unfortunately, it is the really "dark" stuff that I get tuned in to. Someone floating through in a "normal" mood won't rattle me. But let a person in the throws of a psychotic episode or a schizophrenic come by and my nervous system starts to feel really unraveled. Difficult to focus on task, difficult to concentrate, all kinds of unpleasant stuff. Some people I call "emot-ers" because they absolutely radiate what is inside without saying a word. These people are jacked up on negative emotion and it is just leaches out of them in huge morphic bubble. Have you ever wondered why certain people bring you down? Or others just lift your spirits as soon as they come into a room? If you have experienced that...you may be an empath too *wink*.<br /><br />I'll just say it. *woo woo* people.
