S2 E6 - Depression And Being An Empath: Use Your Sensitivity To Navigate Feeling
In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Michael Smith an energy healer and “professional out of the box thinker” whose background as a doctoral trained counselor and therapist helps empaths and highly sensitive people embrace their gifts and connect with their divine potential.

We discuss:
- The connection between depression and being sensitive.
- Common struggles empaths and highly sensitive people face when feeling heavy or dense emotions.
- Addiction as a coping mechanism to avoid processing trauma.
- Depression as a result of lacking connection with Spirit/Source/God and others.
- Developing a relationship with your Higher Self to help you navigate depression.
- Lack of boundaries as a result of being disconnected from yourself.
- Overthinking as a result of not giving yourself space to pause and be present.
- Recognizing your sensitivity as a creative gift to help you recognize your inner light.
- Not asking for help as a limitation to expressing your authentic self.
- Stepping into your power with the intention of helping yourself and others.
