Understanding Highly Sensitive Empaths in Relationships
Highly sensitive empaths often struggle in relationships due to childhood relational trauma that makes them hyper attuned to negativity and unpredictability. This stems from growing up in environments with unpredictable or emotionally unsafe caregivers, leading to a heightened sensitivity to others' pain and emotional states. Empaths' struggle with emotional boundaries and self-perception of safety influences their partner choices, often gravitating towards individuals with significant issues resembling those of their caregivers. By recognizing these patterns and addressing childhood trauma, empaths can learn to establish healthier emotional boundaries and choose partners who support their growth.
