Have you ever been told you're an empath? Maybe you can walk into a room and immediately sense tension.

In this video, I explore five uncomfortable truths about the empath identity through the lens of emotional intelligence, attachment, trauma, and nervous system regulation. As both a nurse and therapist, I've seen how often emotional survival strategies get mistaken for personality traits. Understanding where these patterns come from isn't about becoming less caring. It's about learning how to connect without carrying everyone else's emotional weight.
