The Complex Link Between Empathy and Childhood Trauma Survivors

This episode originally aired on YouTube.  As survivors of childhood trauma we often develop a heightened sense of empathy as a result of our experiences. This empathy can be a beautiful quality within us, creating deep compassion for others. However, particularly if there is an aspect of denial around our experiences, impact, or emotions, empathy can morph into another way of coping that can lead to additional challenges, especially in relationships. In today’s episode I talk about how empathy manifests in the lives of childhood trauma survivors and how it can become problematic. Don’t want to wait for the next episode?
