About this listen
Are These Feelings Even Yours?
Do you ever feel anxious, heavy, or emotionally drained without knowing why—especially after being around certain people or environments?
In this episode of The Embodied Empath Podcast, Valerie Lundgren explores emotional absorption through the lens of the nervous system and explains why empaths and highly sensitive women often carry emotions that don’t belong to them. You’ll learn how the body’s subconscious threat-detection system responds to emotional tension, why women are conditioned to over-attune to others, and how chronic emotional absorption fuels anxiety and burnout.
This episode introduces a somatic practice to help you differentiate your emotions from others, restore energetic boundaries, and return to a sense of calm and clarity—without shutting down your empathy.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your anxiety is actually yours, this conversation will help you listen to your body with compassion and confidence.
