You're listening to the Realized Empath Podcast, where we get real about loving and stumbling through our sensitive lives with your host and holistic counselor, Kristen Schwartz, who helps redefine what's possible for an empath who embraces a path of self-healing.
00:00:22.474 --> 00:00:26.751
Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Realize Empath podcast.
00:00:26.751 --> 00:00:51.600
I'm Kristen Schwartz and I'm here with you as we swim into our sensitivity to unravel, question and celebrate what it truly means to be an empath in today's world world.
00:00:51.600 --> 00:01:03.505
Today, we're going to delve into a topic that is important, that might strike a chord with you, and one that has been a topic of conversation in my life recently, beyond the empath stereotype, embracing our full spectrum.
00:01:03.505 --> 00:01:21.453
So being an empath is often seen through a lens of stereotypes, like never getting angry, always understanding others' feelings, having more empathy than anyone else, or being a constant beacon of calm and kindness.
00:01:21.453 --> 00:01:23.305
But let's get real.
00:01:23.305 --> 00:01:35.105
We are beautifully complex beings, not confined to a checklist of qualities, even though those posts on my Instagram might be the ones that most of you interact with.
00:01:35.105 --> 00:01:47.579
So what I would love for you to do is grab a comfortable spot, maybe your favorite beverage, and let's explore the full spectrum of being an empath beverage.
00:01:47.579 --> 00:01:49.322
And let's explore the full spectrum of being an empath.
00:01:49.343 --> 00:01:50.706
All right, let's start by shattering a few stereotypes.
00:01:50.706 --> 00:01:54.471
First is the notion that empaths never get angry.
00:01:54.471 --> 00:02:03.868
I remember a situation where my anger bubbled up and surprised me and also the person I was with.
00:02:03.868 --> 00:02:16.508
It was during a drive, when someone cut me off and my tensions rose and so did my frustration.
00:02:16.508 --> 00:02:23.145
So the moment of anger didn't make me any less of an empath, it made me human.
00:02:23.145 --> 00:02:33.048
So emotions like anger are natural and can be a call to action, maybe a boundary or a spark for change.
00:02:33.048 --> 00:02:38.241
And what about always knowing what others feel?
00:02:38.241 --> 00:02:42.147
Truth be told, there are times we get it wrong.
00:02:42.147 --> 00:03:05.187
Empathy involves connecting with others' emotions, but doesn't grant us psychic abilities to read minds or emotions flawlessly, especially if we have past trauma, past pain, which, let's get real, most of us do have pain in the past that affects how we show up in the present.
00:03:05.187 --> 00:03:14.331
So acknowledging this can free us from the pressure to always get it right and remind us of the importance of communication.
00:03:15.700 --> 00:03:24.003
Moving on the idea that we instinctively know how to help everyone is another myth that needs dispelling.
00:03:24.003 --> 00:03:32.575
Each person's journey and needs are unique, and sometimes the best help is simply being present or listening.
00:03:32.575 --> 00:03:45.436
There was a friend I desperately wanted to help through a tough time and I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to work, and eventually I realized they needed space more than solutions.
00:03:45.436 --> 00:03:52.175
It was a humbling reminder that our empathy guides us, but it's not a one-size-fits-all key.
00:03:52.175 --> 00:03:54.501
And what about keeping our cool?
00:03:54.501 --> 00:03:57.227
Let's say that's not always the case.
00:03:57.227 --> 00:04:04.491
High-pressure situations can challenge our calm, especially those involving conflict or emotional stress.
00:04:04.491 --> 00:04:10.510
I've had my share of moments where keeping cool was the last thing on my mind.
00:04:10.510 --> 00:04:13.539
This doesn't diminish our empathic nature.
00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:18.654
It simply showcases our need for self-care and setting boundaries.
00:04:18.654 --> 00:04:20.721
This brings us to another point.
00:04:21.802 --> 00:04:25.389
Always being empathetic is an unrealistic expectation.
00:04:25.389 --> 00:04:39.331
Our capacity to empathize can be affected by so many factors, including mental health, stress levels, even physical well-being, so there will be days where you're not going to feel connected.
00:04:39.331 --> 00:04:44.149
You're going to feel more disconnected or maybe less capable of deep empathy, and that is okay.
00:04:44.149 --> 00:04:50.348
It's a reminder that caring for ourselves enables us to care for others more effectively.
00:04:50.348 --> 00:05:08.803
Now where this crosses over to is if you believe, or if someone else in your life believes a stereotype that being an empath means that you have the corner of the market on empathy, or you have the corner of the market on always being kind and putting others' needs first.
00:05:08.803 --> 00:05:18.812
Then it goes to say that, or someone might think that an empath would be loved by everyone, that would be liked by everyone.
00:05:18.812 --> 00:05:21.392
This is one of the hardest stereotypes.
00:05:21.392 --> 00:05:39.370
To break free from Our empathic nature can sometimes lead us to seek approval and love from everyone we meet, but the truth is not everyone will understand or appreciate your depth of feeling, and that's not a reflection of your worth, but rather a fact of life.
00:05:39.370 --> 00:05:48.478
The key is to cherish the connections that nourish you and learn to be okay with the fact that we can't be everyone's cup of tea.
00:05:50.425 --> 00:06:01.346
Lastly, the idea that there's a checklist of qualities that confirm your status as an empath is limiting your sensitivity.
00:06:01.346 --> 00:06:06.478
Empathy and the way of experience in the world are as diverse as you are.
00:06:06.478 --> 00:06:15.110
I've met empaths who are introverts, extroverts, thinkers, feelers, artists, scientists the list goes on.
00:06:15.110 --> 00:06:19.266
Thinkers, feelers, artists, scientists the list goes on.
00:06:19.266 --> 00:06:23.596
What binds us is not a set of rigid qualities, but a shared depth of experiencing and processing the world around us.
00:06:23.596 --> 00:06:32.185
Let's embrace the diversity within our community and celebrate our differences and support one another in our unique journey.
00:06:32.185 --> 00:06:36.656
There is no empath club and membership criteria.
00:06:36.656 --> 00:06:46.369
You're with us if you feel deeply, care deeply and live deeply, and if you're imperfect, diving deeper into our empathic identity.
00:06:46.468 --> 00:06:50.016
Let's talk about the positives of labeling ourselves as empaths.
00:06:50.016 --> 00:06:53.911
So this label can be incredibly validating, right?
00:06:53.911 --> 00:07:07.699
It helps us understand why we experience the world in such a vibrant, often overwhelming way, and discovering the term empath was like finding a map to navigate my emotions and interactions.
00:07:07.699 --> 00:07:15.829
It connected me with a community of like-minded individuals, providing me a sense of belonging and understanding, which was very healing.
00:07:15.829 --> 00:07:26.632
The label can empower us, giving us a name to our experience and making finding resources and strategies tailored to your needs much easier.
00:07:26.632 --> 00:07:34.593
It's like finally being able to read the signs along a path we've been walking all of our lives.
00:07:35.795 --> 00:07:38.879
However, with every coin there's a flip side.
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:44.274
Labeling ourselves strictly as impasse can sometimes box us in too.
00:07:44.274 --> 00:07:51.937
It might limit our perception of our capabilities, making us feel that our sensitivity defines all of who we are.
00:07:51.937 --> 00:08:01.476
This label can also lead to self-fulfilling prophecies, where we might ignore parts of our personality that don't fit the empath mold.
00:08:01.476 --> 00:08:21.815
We might overlook our resilience, our strength and even our ability to disconnect when necessary, and labels can create an us-versus-them mentality, distancing us from non-empaths and potentially missing out on diverse perspectives and experiences.
00:08:21.815 --> 00:08:28.317
So it's crucial to remember that being an empath is just one facet of your complex self.
00:08:28.766 --> 00:08:44.840
Now let's scour the overlap between empaths, highly sensitive people, hypervigilance and neurodivergence, while these terms share common ground, particularly in sensitivity and sensory processing.
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:49.349
They bring a unique lens to understanding our experiences.
00:08:49.349 --> 00:08:52.277
Empaths and highly sensitive people.
00:08:52.277 --> 00:09:05.099
Both have an heightened ability to perceive and feel deeply, but not all HSPs might identify with the empathic ability to intuit others' emotions.
00:09:05.099 --> 00:09:18.909
Hypervigilance, often rooted in anxiety or past trauma, shares the intense awareness of our surroundings, but it's more about a constant state of alertness for potential threats.
00:09:18.909 --> 00:09:32.140
It's crucial to differentiate this from your natural sensitivity as an empath and an HSP, because hypervigilance is often linked to your stress response.
00:09:32.140 --> 00:09:42.388
Now, neurodivergence, which includes conditions like ADHD and autism, often involve unique sensory processing and emotional experiences.
00:09:42.388 --> 00:09:53.663
Many neurodivergent individuals find overlap in their experiences with those of empaths and HSPs, such as deep empathy or sensitivity to stimulus.
00:09:53.663 --> 00:10:02.422
Recognizing those overlaps can create and foster a better understanding and acceptance of our nuanced experiences.
00:10:02.422 --> 00:10:22.235
What it does is it highlights the importance of a personalized approach to self-care as you navigate the world In embracing our full spectrum as empaths, it's essential to celebrate your positives, so your empathy, your deep connection, your intuitive understanding of the world.
00:10:23.138 --> 00:10:34.155
But also it's equally important to acknowledge the challenges right Overwhelmed, the need for boundaries, and navigating a world that doesn't always understand your depth of feeling.
00:10:34.155 --> 00:10:47.828
So understanding the nuances between being an empath, an HSP, experiencing hypervigilance or being neurodivergent allows you to better comprehend your individual experiences.
00:10:47.828 --> 00:10:56.389
It guides you in seeking the tools, the communities and practices that are going to support your well-being.
00:10:56.389 --> 00:11:03.428
So I want you to honor the similarities and the differences, and then everything in between.
00:11:03.428 --> 00:11:15.967
So, as we near the end of our time together, let's chat about a fundamental truth that binds all of us that incredible uniqueness of each human being.
00:11:16.495 --> 00:11:26.784
This theme of uniqueness resonates deeply within the empath community, but its value stretches far and wide, touching every soul on this planet.
00:11:26.784 --> 00:11:31.200
Our uniqueness isn't just about our empathic abilities.
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:38.660
It's woven into the fabric of our being, from how we perceive the world to how we interact with each other.
00:11:38.660 --> 00:11:46.206
This uniqueness is your strength, a gift that allows you to contribute to the world in ways only you can.
00:11:46.206 --> 00:11:55.664
Embracing this within yourself is the first step toward living authentically, but the journey continues beyond there.
00:11:55.664 --> 00:12:00.246
It's equally important to recognize and celebrate this uniqueness in others.
00:12:00.246 --> 00:12:12.004
When we do that, we enrich our lives with diverse perspectives and experiences and we foster a sense of belonging and acceptance many yearn for.
00:12:12.004 --> 00:12:19.085
Let's be champions of individuality in a world that often seeks to categorize and standardize.
00:12:19.085 --> 00:12:30.062
Let's encourage others and ourselves to shine in our authentic light, embracing the quirks, the idiosyncrasies and the depth of our souls.
00:12:30.062 --> 00:12:39.240
Remember the beauty of humanity lies in our diversity and the countless hues that paint this tapestry of the human experience.
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:47.245
As empaths, we deeply feel this beauty, but let's honor it in ourselves and everyone we meet.
00:12:47.745 --> 00:12:53.342
As this episode now comes to an end, I want to extend a heartfelt invitation to each of you.

Let's talk about the positives of labeling ourselves as empaths.
00:06:50.016 --> 00:06:53.911
So this label can be incredibly validating, right?
00:06:53.911 --> 00:07:07.699
It helps us understand why we experience the world in such a vibrant, often overwhelming way, and discovering the term empath was like finding a map to navigate my emotions and interactions.
00:07:07.699 --> 00:07:15.829
It connected me with a community of like-minded individuals, providing me a sense of belonging and understanding, which was very healing.
00:07:15.829 --> 00:07:26.632
The label can empower us, giving us a name to our experience and making finding resources and strategies tailored to your needs much easier.
00:07:26.632 --> 00:07:34.593
It's like finally being able to read the signs along a path we've been walking all of our lives.
00:07:35.795 --> 00:07:38.879
However, with every coin there's a flip side.
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:44.274
Labeling ourselves strictly as impasse can sometimes box us in too.
00:07:44.274 --> 00:07:51.937
It might limit our perception of our capabilities, making us feel that our sensitivity defines all of who we are.
00:07:51.937 --> 00:08:01.476
This label can also lead to self-fulfilling prophecies, where we might ignore parts of our personality that don't fit the empath mold.
00:08:01.476 --> 00:08:21.815
We might overlook our resilience, our strength and even our ability to disconnect when necessary, and labels can create an us-versus-them mentality, distancing us from non-empaths and potentially missing out on diverse perspectives and experiences.
00:08:21.815 --> 00:08:28.317
So it's crucial to remember that being an empath is just one facet of your complex self.
00:08:28.766 --> 00:08:44.840
Now let's scour the overlap between empaths, highly sensitive people, hypervigilance and neurodivergence, while these terms share common ground, particularly in sensitivity and sensory processing.
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:49.349
They bring a unique lens to understanding our experiences.
00:08:49.349 --> 00:08:52.277
Empaths and highly sensitive people.
00:08:52.277 --> 00:09:05.099
Both have an heightened ability to perceive and feel deeply, but not all HSPs might identify with the empathic ability to intuit others' emotions.
00:09:05.099 --> 00:09:18.909
Hypervigilance, often rooted in anxiety or past trauma, shares the intense awareness of our surroundings, but it's more about a constant state of alertness for potential threats.
00:09:18.909 --> 00:09:32.140
It's crucial to differentiate this from your natural sensitivity as an empath and an HSP, because hypervigilance is often linked to your stress response.
00:09:32.140 --> 00:09:42.388
Now, neurodivergence, which includes conditions like ADHD and autism, often involve unique sensory processing and emotional experiences.
00:09:42.388 --> 00:09:53.663
Many neurodivergent individuals find overlap in their experiences with those of empaths and HSPs, such as deep empathy or sensitivity to stimulus.
00:09:53.663 --> 00:10:02.422
Recognizing those overlaps can create and foster a better understanding and acceptance of our nuanced experiences.
00:10:02.422 --> 00:10:22.235
What it does is it highlights the importance of a personalized approach to self-care as you navigate the world In embracing our full spectrum as empaths, it's essential to celebrate your positives, so your empathy, your deep connection, your intuitive understanding of the world.
00:10:23.138 --> 00:10:34.155
But also it's equally important to acknowledge the challenges right Overwhelmed, the need for boundaries, and navigating a world that doesn't always understand your depth of feeling.
00:10:34.155 --> 00:10:47.828
So understanding the nuances between being an empath, an HSP, experiencing hypervigilance or being neurodivergent allows you to better comprehend your individual experiences.
00:10:47.828 --> 00:10:56.389
It guides you in seeking the tools, the communities and practices that are going to support your well-being.
00:10:56.389 --> 00:11:03.428
So I want you to honor the similarities and the differences, and then everything in between.
00:11:03.428 --> 00:11:15.967
So, as we near the end of our time together, let's chat about a fundamental truth that binds all of us that incredible uniqueness of each human being.
00:11:16.495 --> 00:11:26.784
This theme of uniqueness resonates deeply within the empath community, but its value stretches far and wide, touching every soul on this planet.
00:11:26.784 --> 00:11:31.200
Our uniqueness isn't just about our empathic abilities.
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:38.660
It's woven into the fabric of our being, from how we perceive the world to how we interact with each other.
00:11:38.660 --> 00:11:46.206
This uniqueness is your strength, a gift that allows you to contribute to the world in ways only you can.
00:11:46.206 --> 00:11:55.664
Embracing this within yourself is the first step toward living authentically, but the journey continues beyond there.
00:11:55.664 --> 00:12:00.246
It's equally important to recognize and celebrate this uniqueness in others.
00:12:00.246 --> 00:12:12.004
When we do that, we enrich our lives with diverse perspectives and experiences and we foster a sense of belonging and acceptance many yearn for.
00:12:12.004 --> 00:12:19.085
Let's be champions of individuality in a world that often seeks to categorize and standardize.
00:12:19.085 --> 00:12:30.062
Let's encourage others and ourselves to shine in our authentic light, embracing the quirks, the idiosyncrasies and the depth of our souls.
00:12:30.062 --> 00:12:39.240
Remember the beauty of humanity lies in our diversity and the countless hues that paint this tapestry of the human experience.
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:47.245
As empaths, we deeply feel this beauty, but let's honor it in ourselves and everyone we meet.
00:12:47.745 --> 00:12:53.342
