The Creation Of An Empath // Childhood Of Inauthenticity

Though I have been digging deeply into metaphysics since my childhood. I really did not know that I was more than an Empath until recently. Most if not all of us who have dealt with abuse in the past ARE empaths. We are extremely in tune with the feelings of others and we often put them first until we learn that we matter most to ourselves. This behavior is created in childhood. When the parent/s deny us the ability and right to have our own thoughts and feelings. They tell us things like "but you LOVE this food" or "she hates that" or "she loves to wear turtle necks" lol (hypothetical but you understand where I am coming from. So instead of being encouraged to become who we were born to be we are groomed to be who they want us to be. An extension of themselves or the person they never were. I believe it's all preplanned before we are born between us and them. Soul contract so that we can learn the lessons that our souls need/want to learn in order to evolve. Our emotional maturity is stunted. As we age we continue to look for people who are controlling and manipulative because "it feels like home" We look for people who need to be fixed. We are the great "fixers" but all that really means is that we are not in touch with ourselves because we have spent the majority of our lives fixing everyone around us and paying ourselves no mind. Old programming that no longer serves us. Let it go... we change our past by changing our beliefs. Then our perception of the past will change as well.
