If you believe in energy, learning to protect yourself and channel energy, you may benefit from learning from someone like a Reiki Master. I have a Reiki 2 "attunement" and I can channel energy to assist people in healing. I still haven't learned how to completely protect myself from others' emotions (I can totally relate to the feelings of being empathic), but I think if you talked to a Reiki Master, they might be able to help you. Good luck!
