If you are susceptible to emotional contagion and can actually is, in fact, made up of highly sensitive people who are particularly vulnerable to other people's stress and emotions. This can result in panic attacks, depression, exhaustion, and a range of physical ailments.
As a psychiatrist, I specialize in treating highly sensitive, empathic patients who tend to be emotional sponges for the stress of the world. So many of them live in a state of chronic sensory overload, which causes physical and emotional symptoms. However, once I teach them the self-care techniques, like the ones in my new book, they can come into their power without shouldering the stress of others and society.
I've found that one strategy that is particularly effective during the chaotic holiday season is to seek solitude. Carve out time to think and just so that they're not ravaging your system and affecting your immunity. From this quieter space, endorphins—your natural painkillers and feel-good hormones—can help you feel more peaceful and even blissful. Quiet time lets you replenish your mind, body, and soul.1. Take a break when you spot the signs of overwhelm.
When you begin to feel victimized by others' negative emotions in your role as helper, caretaker, or confidante, realize that you need to take a break.
