Today’s Tough Love:
You can be an empath AND still have boundaries.
You can understand someone else’s pain.
You can understand someone else’s suffering.
You can understand WHY someone is acting the way they are.
AND STILL HAVE BOUNDARIES.
Being an “empath” is NOT a reason to be a DOORMAT.
You can be an empath AND still set boundaries around poor behavior.
It does NOT make you less compassionate.
It makes you MORE compassionate, because it proves you love yourself enough to PROTECT YOURSELF FIRST.
That is the most loving thing you can do.
You’re MODELING what it means to truly be a compassionate, “boundaried” and loving human.
Stop using “empath” as an excuse to be a doormat to someone else’s wounding.
Have Courage and Sparkle On 💖
