Drop Empath People Pleaser Syndrome and Take your power back

I talk about the experience of being a highly sensitive empath who has been unconsciously (unknowingly) absorbing the emotions of everyone I come in contact. Through the guidance of this society, I have mistook this sensitive temperament (a gift) for being dysfunctional, maladaptive, depressed, anxious and all manner of "illness", "disorder", being shuffled in and out of Psychologists most of my adolescent life.
Many empaths struggle with this predicament of literally being a shapeshifter. We often don't realize how good we are at mimicking (like a chameleon) and mirroring back the emotions of every single person we come in contact with, because you are always feeling their emotions as if they are in your own body and you just want them to feel better so that you can feel better!!! It can feel like being a slave or living in a prison. Especially because of the puritanical foundations of American society that have been brainwashing us into believing that everyone must REPRESS all emotions that aren't militant, docile positivity.
So, being the SEER, the intuitive, the one who is the emotional sponge, it can get exhausting and make one believe they are crazy, but what I found is that my intuition was right all along, many people are sad, upset, angry, beneath the surface they just mask it really well and we live in a society where one is rewarded highly for pretending and repressing their true emotions in service of always being happy.
My healing process has led me to believe that when you repress so called "ugly" emotions, it gets stored in your body, soul, mind and festers, goes rotten and creates all kinds of blockages, sickness....mental, physical, emotional. unfortunately we are taught to believe this is normal, therefore we are a chronically sick (mentally and physically) population.
I detail some steps that the empath can take to become free of enmeshment trauma and essentially Stockholm Syndrome where you believe your only worth to the world, is being the shoulder to cry, or your ability to soothe others (being liked by everyone), and you accept your role as emotional punching bag in your family or friends.
The process of taking your power back as the one who was previously coddling and agreeing with everyone around you can appear shocking to these people because you are literally a gold medalist Olympic champion at MATCHING vibrations (and you don't even know it) and ALWAYS shrinking your energy to MEET theirs and SOOTHE them.
I speak about breaking these subconscious, energetic contracts that we have agreed to as empaths to let everyone take from our energy and having unhindered energetic access to you at all times.
As an empath, Highly sensitive souls, your service to this planet is to heal yourself, love yourself first and foremost, so you can then be an example and a leader to others, but you can't give anything to anyone if you are not filling your cup first.
You are a warrior who is here to anchor down a brand new energetic frequency (YES, seemingly ALIEN to most people) but PROTECT it at all costs. You are PRECIOUS!!!!!!
"I don't expect you to understand,
after you've caused so much pain,
but then again,
you're not to blame,
you're just a human,
a victim of the insane."
