"...many people think that an empath is a person who has grown up in love, harmony and understanding and therefore can feel everything.

That’s not exactly true.

The strongest and most talented empaths, on the contrary, grew up in narcissistic families where they were underestimated, their abilities devalued, where they were not heard, silenced and where no one understood them.

They grew up in families where emotions were punished and where emotions were considered shameful and where it was customary to hide them.

These children smiled in the company and cried at home, but no one paid attention to it.

The strongest and most talented empaths grew up behind a narcissistic facade with parents who did not know how to love and often thought that love was control."

If this is you you should to remember:

you’re not “too emotional.”

You’re not “too much.”

You’re a miracle of resilience.

Affirmations for the Empath Who Is Reclaiming Their Power

I honor my emotions — they are my guidance system.
My sensitivity is not a weakness; it is my superpower.
I release the shame that was never mine to carry.
I am safe to feel, safe to speak, safe to exist fully.
I choose people who respect my heart, not silence it.
My intuition is sacred, sharp, and always right.
I am not who hurt me — I am who I became despite it.

It depends on us how our children’s lives turn out and it is not the children’s fault that their parents are cold.

When you are an empath who grew up behind the narcissistic facade you don’t get mad at your parents.

Children love their parents for what they gave them life.

You draw the main lesson in your life - a lesson on self-worth.

You will never prove your worth to anyone ever again.

And you also know exactly what parent you will never be for your child.
