Season 2: Episode 2 - The Empath's Brain: Why You Feel Everything

Описание: Why do you feel everything so deeply?
In this episode of Intuition on Tap, we explore the empath’s brain — from both a scientific and energetic perspective— to explain why highly sensitive and intuitive people experience emotion, energy, and environment so intensely.
You’ll learn how mirror neurons, limbic resonance, sensory processing sensitivity, and nervous system regulation shape empathic perception — and why sensitivity is not weakness, but an advanced form of awareness.
This episode also includes a guided nervous system regulation exercise designed specifically for empaths, helping you feel without absorbing and attune without overwhelm.
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” struggle with emotional overload, or feel deeply affected by other people’s moods, this conversation will help you understand what’s really happening — and how to work with your empathic wiring instead of fighting it.

✨ In this episode:
• The neuroscience behind empathy and emotional attunement
• Mirror neurons and limbic resonance explained simply
• Why empaths feel energy before words
• Sensory processing sensitivity and overwhelm
• How intuition shows up in the body
• A guided regulation practice for empathic nervous systems
Sensitivity isn’t something to fix.
It’s something to understand, regulate, and honour.
