All you that feel you are empathic, have you mentioned it to your T's?? or anyone for that matter. do they just nod their head, smile- saying "sure you feel others feelings...ya, i believe you (sarcasm here)"
or do they take you seriously? REALLY understand?well in one of my 'word drawings' that i showed my T at the very beginning i had Empathy quite large and tangled in barbed wire near "my center"-he almost had a shocked look on his face and quickly asked "Empathy???" i just told him just that i placed it there cuz it's part of what's inside me that sometimes is very intense and it can hurt.
he's never mentioned it again, but i wasn't sure afterwards what he thinks i mean by that. i'm not sure he really understands that it's not just to empathize with someone but actually empathic. And to be honest i just left it there and didn't give detail cuz i'm not sure anyone really get's it. i've only told....two people in my life and one is dead. so that leaves one person (my close friend now) about it and he feels it too, to some degree.
What do you all think?
