Ep 20 - This Is Why You Absorb Everyone's Energy And How to Finally Stop
Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling emotionally exhausted and wondered what just happened? You started the day feeling fine. Then one phone call, one family gathering, one conversation, or one difficult person leaves you carrying stress, anxiety, guilt, frustration, or emotional heaviness that wasn't there before.
In this episode, Dr. Shiloh explores why highly empathetic people often absorb other people's emotions, how compassion can quietly turn into emotional overload, and the powerful question that can help you stop carrying what was never yours to hold.
You'll learn:
- The difference between compassion and carrying
- Why some people unknowingly transfer emotional burdens to others
- How to identify emotional "U-Haul" people
- The Ownership Question that creates emotional freedom
- A faith-based perspective on protecting your peace
- Practical tools for caring without absorbing
If you've ever felt emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or responsible for everyone around you, this episode is for you.
