“How do you heal while still interacting with the person who caused the need to heal?”
In the same way a person heals from an experience when the cause of the need to heal isn’t in their immediate environment: with dedication, persistence, confidence, patience, compassion, submission and trust.
When you need to heal from a romantic encounter, typically your ex isn’t around; thus you may feel it’s easier to heal. Out-of-sight, out-of-mind. This breeds a false sense of security, for you can endure the healing process and then hear from him/her – or see him/her – six years later and negative thoughts and/or feelings appear; which in turn means you have not healed. Back to the drawing board!
Attempting to heal from an experience while continuing to interact with the person you credit as the need for your healing is a monumental task. Truly. If you have the capability, hats off to you! #TeamYou!
Interacting with the person whom you feel caused you the need to heal is like enduring chemotherapy while smoking. Seriously. You have power in your healing. If your healing process requires that there be space between you and the other person, then you grant it such. You can’t expect for the process to be successful if you aren’t giving it a fighting chance.
For some, ‘distance’ may be no communication until he/she is ready to talk; for others, it’s limited communication while they endure their healing process. And if the pain is that intense, there may be a need for physical distance. Whatever your process requires for it to be successful should be granted to it.
At some point, you have to decide who is more important: you or the other person. At some point, you have to decide what matters most: your healing or your interaction with the person who is the influence behind your need to heal?

“You have told me before that I am an Empath; how can I better deal with this condition. It can be annoying.”
An Empath is someone who can feel what another is feeling. You are a very sensitive being who becomes affected emotionally, mentally and/or physically by the energies of others. Many are this way, but they are usually labeled as being ‘too sensitive’, ‘bipolar’, ‘paranoid’, etc. Many Empaths are moody, anxious, introverted, insecure and over-compensating.
After you acknowledge your level of sensitivity, you must then take measures to protect yourself. Some practice visualization techniques (being surrounded by White Light) and gemstone therapy (using grounding or protective gemstones like spotted obsidian, jasper and amber) to create a ‘protective shield’ around them when in crowds, at work or engaging with difficult people. Another technique is ‘conscious assessment’. Stop in the middle of the feeling, which will appear out-of-the-blue such that you seem moody or biploar, and ask yourself, “Is this my energy?” If it is, evidence of why you should be experiencing it will appear; at that point, address it. God is speaking to you. If it is not your energy, recognize such and abandon it.
Being an Empath is a challenge. You are maneuvering through an energetically charged experience while exposed; you pick up the energetic imprints of family, friends and strangers without warning. Learn to abandon energies that are not yours by ‘conscious assessment’. Learn to protect yourself with visualization techniques and/or gemstone therapy. Become empowered; don’t be annoyed. 😉
“When you become conscious, you become responsible.”
