Developing Empathy Balance

Empathy, the ability to connect with what someone else is feeling and going through is so important to a fruitful mental, emotional and relationship journey. But what do you do when you notice that your empathy levels seem to go off the rails and it causes you to spiral in your own life? Do you watch the news, listen to what other people are going through and find your empathy sensitivity is constantly going off the rails? Tune in as I address this issue, as well as a question that was sent in to my inbox relates to that.

This couldn't have come at a better time. I feel like I spiral everyday. I feel too much.

I watched a testimony of a pastor who is an empath and between full time ministry and taking on so many people's problems and the trauma of his childhood, he was actually led to get medical help. He wrestled with the condemnation of taking a pill to help him for 3 months but he finally had a vision of Jesus giving him the blessing to take it. Some of us don't have the right brain chemistry and need a little help. "It isn't forever" That's what Jesus said to him.

@@tonypino5415 I always see your comments on here, Tony. Thank you so much for your wisdom and encouragement. God bless you 💖.

​@tonypino5415 I needed what you said Today about the Pastor.
I'm in Animal Rescue and also deal with Chronic Health Issues.
I help every hurt thing I see...I do it bc I saw things suffer (animal abuse by teens in my neighborhood) and I never forgot the image. But as long as I can remember I have always have been sensitive.
I get attached to hurting humans too..then I obsessively worry (if they are homeless) if they are ok.
I have alot of anxiety and take medication for it.
I'm asking God to help my Servants Heart bc it's physically killing me. I had a mild heart attack last week.
I do not know how to handle loss or suffering of others😢

This is so accurate. You deeply care but it affects you deeply because of our own unhealed pain and how we care so much and feel so deeply for people.

Hi Mark, your videos have been very helpful to me. Can you do a video about how to get through unbelief? There’s certain things that I struggle believing and I just wanna be confident and truly believing it in my heart and not just by knowledge

[@deejustdee4097]

My doctor said my mom is my stressor, just talking to her or got a message from her makes me anxious . She's very religious, said im taking my anti depressant means i have't got 'real faith'. So i always feel guilty everytime i set boundary 😢

[@klaudia4182]

[@SweetE1403]

I have been like this in the past bc I was feeling too much. I was spiraling and just wasn’t good for my mental health

[@jewishbride5010]

I bind to hell feeling empathy for one loving evil, in accordance with this word and amos 5:15, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah! ❤
