5 journal prompts on regaining your emotional safe space

Empath, you were asked to take on…⁣

⁣

💜 Someone else’s emotions⁣

💜 Someone else’s fears⁣

💜 The responsibility of being someone else. ⁣

⁣

What you heard from others was: “𝘚𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮, 𝘴𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺”. ⁣

⁣

Here is why you heard it so loudly: ⁣

➡️ someone else could/would not take ownership of their emotions, for fear of facing them. ⁣

➡️ you felt like you had to take it upon yourself to release that person of their emotions. ⁣

⁣

So, your go to cycle became—⁣

🔄 take their feelings⁣

🔄 replace your own emotions with theirs⁣

🔄 make them happy⁣

🔄 ease their discomfort⁣

🔄 struggle with yourself trying to figure out how to identify your own emotions.⁣

⁣

Now this isn’t a quick fix, there is some work to be done. ⁣
