Show Notes
Calling all Empaths! Do you and your children have difficulty discerning which emotions are yours vs. which belong to other people? As a parent, do you sometimes get overwhelmed or into conflict with your sensitive empathic child when they show intense emotions? This event includes an overview of the energetic anatomy of empathy and an introduction to three energy healing techniques which may support you and your child in managing emotional input and fostering feelings of calm in your relationship. There is an experiential component in the last 10 minutes during which you will be guided to use the three tools.

Excerpt from Podcast:
"Young people who are empaths and are experiencing this kind of energetic sensitivity often don't have an understanding of what is going on...they may come in thinking they're depressed and anxious and really feeling that way, when in fact some of their symptoms and in some cases all of their symptoms are because they're just too open to energy around them...if they're given these tools and they practice these tools they get to experience what THEY feel like, and it's a whole new world for them, as it was for me."
