Tags: The dictionary’s definition of empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
In my work I have learned to listen to clients with empathy and without judgement. My experience has come from years of practicing how to hold the energy space for clients so that they feel safe enough to talk about their pain, and how to let it go so the body can heal.
As I listen, it sometimes pains me to listen to stories of sexual abuse, cancer, chronic pain, and infertility without getting emotional. As I listen, I look to my inner wisdom on how I can help the client to break their pain cycle.
I have learned how to “bullet proof” my emotions over the years so I remain an effective healer. I do my best to meet and help every client to meet their healing objectives. By reminding each person to accept who they are, and not what we can be, is the most important ingredient for “in this moment healing.”
I’ve also learned that I can’t help everyone, but I can always listen with compassion and empathy.

Always good lessons to learn. :) I find I have to figure out how to shield myself more in order to deal with people, and not “let it all come rushing in.” Also need to “let go” more of my stuck emotions and of situations and people whose time has come. :) Any advice for that?
We are bombarded with so much emotions by people we have a relationship with, family, friends, and co-workers. Most of these emotions are not aimed at us. By not taking these outbursts personally is key to supporting your own personal growth. When someone is mad or angry, these emotions are usually triggered by unresolved inner conflict. I have learned by not jumping into any negative response will help tremendously. Many times I stay quiet in that person’s presence and wait until the angry dissolve before I speak. I find that most talking is not being heard or processed until the anger dissolves. Learning to be patient and not rush in is always helpful.
