Hi Helene - glad the sharings resonate

And thanks for sharing your personal experiences. What I've witnessed in emapthic people is (clearly) they're very active on the plane of the emotions. And so often when they connect with someone who is strong on the plane of mind, then they lose themselves in the exchanges. This often happens between a woman and a strong male character - these days I can actually see the consciousness being lost as I look into the eyes. So there's an encouragement to be attentive to ALL the various boundaries. Clearly sometimes people feel overwhelmed by someone with a strong intellect - in this world there's a feeling of a need to match them, and if apparently they can't, then they feel unworthy and disempowered.

I would say the key in situations like these is to recognise that we're all unique, and just because someone might appear to have a more colourful intellect than another, doesn't make them better (of course). I've also watched someone of more gentle empathic qualities completely unravel a person of strong intellect simply by saying something like, "you know what, that's way too much in the head for me. I much prefer to come from feelings".

So we need to be attentive, and sovereign, on all levels. Then it becomes less and less of a problem.
