Is Empathy Necessary When Doing Client Work?

Is "empathy" necessary when doing client work, or is it "good manners" that people are after?
•
Some practitioners go to the extremes. And the extremes lead to no good.
•
In energy work, especially practices like Reiki, empathy helps you connect deeply with your clients.
•
It allows you to understand their emotions and needs, making them feel seen and heard.
•
But too much empathy can be overwhelming and cloud your judgment. You might absorb their negative energy, which can affect your well-being and the quality of your work.
•
You also don't want to be rude.
•
So, always strive to balance empathy with objectivity by respecting your clients while maintaining clear boundaries.
•
Your role is to facilitate healing, not become a shoulder to cry on.
•
But, an effective Reiki session implies borrowing much of their emotions and feelings.
•
Therefore, it's crucial to know how to handle them through cleansing and shielding techniques for the benefit of both of you.
