About This Episode
This week I changed it up a bit and got a little more personal with you. I read an amazing article, thanks to my friend Michelle Scrimgeour-Brown who posted it on social media. It hit me in such a powerful way, I just had to share it with you and then dissected it a bit - as much for my own benefit as for all of yours.
The author is: Aziza Azura and you can access the article here: https://medium.com/@azizabrown.
She opens with: "The empath without boundaries "holds space" for the chaotic expression of somebody else's fear, shame and negativity, unknowingly absorbing it like rain into her skin, receiving the garment of somebody else's darkness. She thinks she is being understanding and compassionate, and forgets herself in the shadow of somebody else's pain."
I mean - Wow!! And the rest is equally impactful and soooooooo beautifully written. Reads like poetry but has so many mind-blowing insights.
Tune in to hear my reflections and some deep-diving of some of the sections. I also will talk about Co-dependency and Attachment Styles which really form the basis of so many unhealthy relationships and is touched on in Aziza's article in her incredibly eloquent way.
