Even though I have written a book about being an empath, some things about the online conversation around being sensitive REALLY bother me. Sometimes, we talk as if EVERYTHING can be solved on the individual level.

There is no doubt that as highly sensitive people, we need to take responsibility for saying no. We need to pay attention to our energetic boundaries, so we can stand our ground instead of feeling pushed around by other people’s feelings.

But in addition to all this, as highly sensitive people, we need to bring our attention to the ways in which our upbringing might have encouraged us to give up our boundaries.
