To make it easy and understandable:
Lead by example!

Hi Henxy,

I would add what Dr. David Hawkins found in his research (he's a psychiatrist) that applies to all therapists, healers, etc. His CD program on Nightingale-Conant speaks about the empathic response of the therapist and the therapist's own level of consciousness energy being the healing element itself. When we feel for our client without needing to take on the physical/emotional pain into ourselves but rather into our awareness, we can respond with our unconditional love/compassion. This in itself makes a healing connection. Hawkins would indicate that our words and techniques may not matter as much as our evolved [empathic] energies. He goes on to say that the therapists who have that type of energy are the ones who develop large and successful practices. If people tell you that just being around you, soothes or relaxes them or just makes them feel better, than you may be experiencing this type of healing gift. I have his article on one of my Facebook pages, Gale Glassner Twersky, Aug 2nd I posted it. Hope this helps. All my best,

btw maybe a better way to look at emotionally grounded is not as detached (which it isn't the same as grounded at all), it's about being *more* in touch with yourself, as well as others. Focussing in,as well as out.

You sound like a strong person. I do pick up people's emotions and what they feel very easily, always did even though i wasn't always aware of it. I found out that it has everything to do with reading people really well on a subconscious level. If someone I'm close to has a headache I am likely to start getting a headache, it's not something I try to or control but I have come to understand and to some degree trust it. I am one of those very suggestible people and there seems to be a connection there.. also, look into Paul Ekman's site about face reading. You might find a talent or two you're maybe not entirely aware of ;)

Thanks, Cheryl.
I do realise I sound a bit strange! ;-)

Hmmm... Henxy, I was responding to your title of "Ouch!". Easy enough for me to say "well, if it hurts, don't do that!" LOL

Now I think I understand where you are coming from. :-)

I was asking for a sharing of experiences, which I think I've got.
I'm not emotionally burdened, I feel the pain physically! I don't get lost with them either. I share: it becomes something akin to a spiritual sharing.

I find that I am actually more receptive/intuitive to others' states when I am able to be objective, instead of lost in their state with them. I have a heightened connection, which is also NOT emotionally burdensome.

....So, were you simply asking if anyone else experiences this? My simple answer is yes.

Hi Jim, thanks for your insight. I like to differentiate between the very different jobs that I do in this way. It's useful to link in for hypno, it's incredibly unuseful to be trying to resuscitate whilst being upset (trust me, I've seen it all!).
Emotionally grounded suggests detached, and I don't like that dissociation from my hypnotherapy patients and clients. I guess it's my way of entering the trance state in order to do hypnosis that others talk about. I love the rapport when my hypnotherapy patients saying 'you're reading my mind'. Funnily enough, no intensive care patient has ever said that!
