As empathic people, we tend to be very giving and open with our emotions. We want to feel safe and nurtured, and sometimes we open up to people before we really know them. This can be a great thing, but it can also lead to us getting hurt.
It's important to set boundaries as an empath. We need to make sure that we're in relationships that are beneficial to us and that allow us to thrive. We don't want to end up in another tanglation - which can take years to detangle from.
So, when is it safe to open up to someone? In this podcast episode Esther explores how statistically, there is rarely a fully safe time to open up, because even if our partner doesn't break our heart, we might break theirs. However, the pursuit of love and having mutually beneficial relationships that produce and outcome greater than the sum of its parts is a worthy endeavour and there are many strong relationships out there so we know great love is possible and often worth the risk. But to mitigate some of the risks, Esther shares a few safety mechanisms you can utilise for embarking on such a quest, especially if you are an empath who is prone to over-giving.
