231. Energetic Perception Isn’t Always Caused By Trauma

Ok so let’s talk about this. There’s a lot of information on the internet right now regarding empathy, sensitivity and the ability to “perceive” people’s emotions as being a trauma response. But here’s my personal opinion. There is definitely a strong link/correlation with those who have either experienced negative experiences or trauma related to emotions. I feel that this is often times the case, because there’s a direct genetic link to these abilities and situations. But you may be thinking… I’m nothing like the family member that gave me this trauma. The likelihood of that is… somewhat untrue. Just because they chose to either mask or project their emotional issues onto you, doesn’t mean that they’re any less sensitive than you. In fact, tis’ likely that their sensitivity forced them to incur trauma or abuse themselves. It’s inevitably… a vicious cycle.

So I do believe it’s true that there’s an ancestry link with energetic perception and abilities. It perhaps can even be “triggered” by negative experiences and trauma. however… it can never “create it” out of thing air. That would therefore be saying that you have a special gift or ability which was negatively forced onto you.

While it’s true that being perceptive in a negative way is possible. Say for example you’re so overwhelmed by these experiences, you ultimately break down. Or perhaps you use your abilities for “bad” in order o gain information and/or manipulate others. You may even feel plagued by these abilities because you do not have a strong sense of boundaries. The gift or ability to perceive, to have intuition or empathy is just that… a gift. There are certainly negative ways that you can use a gift, as well as positives. Of course my general advice is to lean into the positives.

I think that in a world where we’re so interested in intellectualizing everything (which I don’t necessarily think is a bad thing- I think it’s causing a lot of reflection, which is good), we’re very quick to “believe” whatever we first hear. Even if it is correlation, and not causation.

Remember that energetic perception is a high level of evolution. It’s a level of connecting. You have an intuitive ability, and are aligning with source. I personally feel it takes a few lifetimes to accept and hold the responsibility of being able to do so. Remember that lack of connection or empathy is in some ways, lack of responsibility. If this is/was a job sense, you would have to be “promoted” before doing so.

I think that there’s an overarching message here, which is to ensure that whatever your gift or ability is, you can see it as a positive or.a negative. Consider what “negative” traits you have, which could be positive.
