I have a part that is an Empath. She feels things from others. She absorbs their pain and sees their pain. If she reads on the forums she can visualize what is happening or has happened. It can make her physically sick and she has body reactions to what she reads and sees on the outside.
She hasn't yet learned to protect herself from this.
Sometimes it is hard to know what she has "absorbed" and what is really ours when she talks to T. Makes interesting sessions.
