If you’re super sensitive to the energy around you, you’re probably an empath or a highly sensitive person (HSP). And in this video, I share the top 4 reasons why life can sometimes be challenging for hypersensitive people.
I spent years running away from social situations or pretending I had to go to the bathroom just so I could get away from dense energy.
And every day I meet so many empaths out there who struggle to just live a normal life because of their hypersensitivities.
But what if I told you that your struggles as an empath have very little to do with the energies around you?
And most importantly: what if I helped you turn your empathic abilities into a superpower?
Because here’s the thing:
Empaths aren’t here to struggle and live secluded lives, running away from everything.
No! We’re here to live deeply joyful, purposeful lives. And I’m going to help you do exactly that in this video.
In this video, I’ll share the top 4 reasons why empaths can struggle so much in life. And the crazy thing is: the very reasons that cause challenges in adult empaths are actually protection mechanisms that they needed as children.
But I’ll get into that more fully in the video.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why do empaths need protection mechanisms as children?
- What are the 4 protection mechanisms?

Here’s the audio version of this video:

Hello Christina, Thank you for verbalizing my experience of childhood. Very difficult to hear but it is absolutely True…Thank you for that. For taking the space to Face that and allowing others too. You wanted to know how I coped as a child. I helped, supported and gave everything that I was, I felt their pain and lost and wanted to ease, to help them heal. so I learnt after many many years that i cannot help if they do not want to be helped and I was needing serious self healing, I felt that I was dying and I have been experiencing the dark night of the soul, for me it has been hardcore 19 years and is now lessening… so I cannot be around other people’s darkness when I am facing my own. so I am physically and mentally away from them all. Cut all cords and focusing on being “Me”. I need alone time to face my real self and be the real me. A choice in progress. My life is completely different from before, I am grateful but the process, oh boy, what a ride, I never expected to still be here….So as I am, I am using this earth space to be me and be what I decided on for this incarnation…..
Thank you for doing what you are doing, it has helped me in so many ways.
