Self Love

Self Soothing , self compassion and self love

As I work with empaths , I often find they have had therapy , they have engaged in alternative therapies , they had tried numerous things , all have usually helped some what . 

What I find though with empaths and sensitive souls , is often the reason they continue to struggle, they just cannot , show themselves love and kindness , the same love and kindness they show others in abundance. The empath will put their own needs to one side for that of a stranger, they will give their last penny away , they will save little energy for their husbands, wives , children as they are tending to others needs . Of course, when their husband , wife , or child needs them they will be there, but they have to be brought back from fixing the neighbour across the street first or the stranger on the bus. 

Often its taking things back to basics , an empath will often say , I don't know what I want or need , do I even know myself ? 

An empath usually needs to take it right back. Lets just start with time out , a bit of radical recharging . Taking stock , taking a breath and just being in their own company . Starting at the very beginning. Sometimes a simple morning ritual helps, setting boundaries always helps .

Often the complicated therapy work is achieved , but its the behaviour changing , the nurturing self is yet to be solved. 

Self love for the empath and sensitive soul is so hard , they have plenty of love to give , usually to others :)
