Do you feel others emotions as deeply as your own?  In this episode, I talk with Mishka Clavijo Kimball, LMFT about how to care for yourself as an empath and:

 • Growing up sensitive as the eldest in a latino family and how family roles impact your experience as an HSP
 
• Learning to provide support in a balanced way and not automatically jumping in to rescue others
 
• How to care for yourself more and not love others too much at your own expense
 
• Differences, myths, and strengths of HSPs and empaths
 
• Self-care practices that allow you to reconnect to yourself and soothe overwhelm
 
• Practices for setting physical and energetic boundaries, restoring energy through connection with nature and water, ancestral healing, salsa dancing, mindfulness, yoga, and journaling
