Why do empaths give so much—and still feel guilty when they’re exhausted, unseen, or used?
In this deeply compassionate talk inspired by Dr. Gabor Maté’s trauma-informed perspective, we explore how empathy becomes a survival skill, how early attachment shapes adult relationships, and why the body carries memories the mind cannot explain.
This is not about blame.
It’s about understanding.
And about learning how to stop abandoning yourself while still staying kind.
If you’ve ever said yes when your body said no…
If guilt shows up the moment you try to rest or set a boundary…
This message will meet you gently—and tell you the truth you needed to hear.
