Welcome to Episode 11 of Somatic Compass. This is a rich episode!! Stacey and Trevor explore sympathy, compassion and empathy as well as compassion fatigue vs empathic fatigue and distress. As well as the "Hot Take" that empaths, mediums, psychics, and card readers might have early childhood trauma and their "superpower" is unconscious hypervigilance. This episode has lots for those who work in the caring professions (nurses, nurses aids, support workers, health aids, teachers, teacher assistants, religious positions, etc) around empathic fatigue and distress; this may even apply to mothers too. Listen and see what resonates with you.
As always, the conversation is not about getting it right. It is an invitation to gently explore the wisdom and presence of your body, deepen your somatic literacy and become a little more curious about what your somatic physiology may already be communicating. Remember - you do you boo!!
