One of the hardest parts of being a caring person is witnessing others in pain.
When we see someone struggling, it feels natural to want to step in and help.
With that being said, there is a fine line between being helpful and taking responsibility for someone else's suffering.
This becomes doubly hard where emotional burdens are concerned. While we might be able to assist with practical struggles, we can't pick up someone else's emotional struggle.
In this week's podcast I explore:
- Why we are prone to picking up other people's emotional burdens
- How to release these burdens without feeling unkind or selfish
- How to avoid picking up the emotional burdens of others in the future
If you care deeply about others but often find yourself overwhelmed by their emotions, this episode is for you.
