Understanding Emotional Avoidance in Empaths

As empaths, we often find ourselves caught in a cycle of overproductivity. It's not uncommon for our sensitive nature to interpret even the simplest tasks as significant threats, triggering our fight-or-flight response. 

Join me, your host, and holistic counselor Kristen Schwartz, as we delve into this unique interplay between our empathic nature and productivity. 

We'll uncover the hidden emotional avoidance that often fuels our busyness and discuss concrete strategies for breaking free from this cycle.

The conversation takes a turn in the second half of the episode, where we shine the spotlight on self-care and boundary setting. 

As empaths, our tendency to take on more than we can handle often stems from a lack of firm boundaries. I share my insights on the power of setting boundaries with ourselves as a first step toward healthy interactions with others. 

Tune in as we always challenge societal pressure to be productive and champion the art of rest and reflection.

By the end of this episode, I promise you'll understand the intricate relationship between rest, productivity, and well-being and be ready to embrace rest as a sign of strength.
