Empathy or Enmeshment? Can You Tell?

Many people identify as empaths. They will describe it as “I feel what others feel.” 

They also often share how challenging and exhausting it is. 

 

In today’s episode of Uncover and Elevate I am going to describe to you the difference between empathy and enmeshment, because often, what people label as empathy is actually enmeshment. 

• Enmeshment is exhausting. 
• Empathy cultivates compassion and intimacy, not exhaustion. 

I’ll break it all down in the episode. 

I’d love to get your feedback on my distinctions between the two. 

What questions did the episode bring up for you?  

What relationships do you have that might be sliding on the scale into enmeshment instead of healthy empathy? 

As always, leave a comment or DM me and let me know.
