Episode 21: What Is an Empath? Why Helping Professionals Feel Everything (Part 1) with Sarah Xanthos
Not Another PD | Season 2, Episode 21
What Is an Empath? Why Helping Professionals Feel Everything (Part 1)
We’re back for Season 2 of Not Another PD.
This episode marks the first episode of the new season, and Jazmin is excited to be back with more honest, grounded conversations for helping professionals navigating boundaries, burnout, and sustainable practice.
To open Season 2, Jazmin is joined by Sarah Xanthos, founder of Wallan Healing Tree and Healing Tree Courses, and host of the Healing Tree Hub podcast.
This is part one of a two-part conversation, exploring a question many helping professionals quietly wrestle with:
What does it actually mean to be an empath?
Together, Jazmin and Sarah unpack:
- What the term empath really means, and how it’s often misunderstood
- Why empaths are so commonly drawn to helping and healing professions
- How empathic sensitivity can develop as a survival response in childhood
- The emotional and physical cost of constantly tuning into other people
- Why switching off after work feels so difficult for helpers
- How blurred boundaries contribute to burnout and over-giving
- One practical boundary Sarah has put in place to protect her professional role
This episode will resonate deeply if you’re a helping professional who feels emotionally affected by others, struggles to disconnect from work, or carries more than you realise.
The conversation continues in Episode 22, where Jazmin and Sarah go deeper into energy, boundaries, and what empaths need in order to work sustainably.
