Empaths: How to Stop Absorbing the Energy of Others with Signe Myers Hovem

Do you feel deeply tuned in to the feelings of others to the extent that you sometimes have a hard time distinguishing your emotions from theirs? If so, you may be a highly sensitive person or an empath (yes, there is a difference!).

Empaths often describe feeling like a “sponge” that soaks up the emotions of others.

Today's special guest, Signe (Sig NEE), an ordained Spiritual Counselor, certified Integrated Therapeutic Alignment (ITA) practitioner, and author of the recently published book, “The Space in Between: An Empath's Field Guide, will share how to tell if you are an empath or a highly sensitive person, and how establishing boundaries can help both.

“The ability to distinguish your thoughts, feelings, and emotions from those you receive from the space around you is an important skill in public spaces,” Signe says. “Hopefully, this awareness will help you feel less entangled by the energy of others. It will also help you maintain boundaries and a sense of safety in public places.”

Splitting her time between Colorado and Norway, Signe Myers Hovem is an ordained Spiritual Counselor and energy medicine practitioner, and author teaches highly sensitive people practical exercises to successfully be vulnerable, at peace in their bodies, connect to nature and feel safe with others. She's lived on five continents, raised four children, pets, and has a soft spot for playing squash and golf. A good listener, she has a knack for sensing what is not being said.
