Sensitivity Is the New Strong - Emotional & Spiritual Healing

I am a very sensitive person.

Most people that have met me would never guess that. But, those who know me well, know better.​

​

Growing up, I always heard comments about how strong and confident I was.​

But the truth is that what appeared like confidence and strength to others, was a protective shield that I created around myself to avoid getting hurt.

​

My emotions have always been intense and frequent. I am a water sign after all. ​

​

And, due to my childhood wounding, I could also sense emotional pain a mile away. This would trigger my sense of compassion, or sometimes fear. Both of which could be used to manipulate and hurt me.

​

I quickly learned that my emotions were a weakness that could be easily exploited and used against me. ​This scared and angered me.

​

So, I created a hard cocoon around me that became nearly impossible to penetrate. ​

​

This is something that I find to be very common in women from my generation. ​

​

A lot of us were raised to be strong. But that definition of strong meant:​

I disconnected from my emotions. And, in turn, I completely disconnected from myself. ​

​

I closed myself off to receiving.​

​

The protective shield that was keeping out the painful things, was also keeping out the joyful ones. ​

​

It ​wasn't until I was well into my emotional and spiritual healing journey that I realized that my ability to feel intense emotions was, in fact, a gift. ​

​

It allows me to experience life fully and to connect and see into others deeply. ​

​

The funny thing is that allowing myself to feel the emotions I tried so hard to hide for so many years, has made me stronger and more confident than ever. ​

Sensitivity IS the new strong.
