   @dabertime through therapy I learned the difference between compassion and empathy. You can still be compassionate without burdening yourself with their pain. It was a helpful tool for someone like me who tries to ‘save’ people - can’t do that anymore.

     Highly sensitive, empathetic people tend to carry a heavier emotional load.

     This over taxes the sympathetic nervous system, which if not balanced / recharged, causes increased wear on the body, even serious health consequences.

     Empathy and kindness are still good, just look after yourself as well.
