Are Empaths Made from Trauma?

Empaths and sensitive people often experience some level of post-traumatic stress. This is, in part, because they're on sensory overload for so many years that their systems are flooded with adrenaline.

Do all empaths have trauma?

The Empath has a very specific and very heightened journey. It is the process of integration, a journey we are all also on, but a journey and process that Empaths are much more sensitive to. They not only have their own trauma to deal with, but they carry the torch for the trauma of the Collective.

What makes a person an empath?

Empaths are highly sensitive individuals, who have a keen ability to sense what people around them are thinking and feeling. Psychologists may use the term empath to describe a person that experiences a great deal of empathy, often to the point of taking on the pain of others at their own expense.
