Yeah I'm not sure I'm an empath either. I mean I definitely go out of my way to never be mean/gossip because it kills me to ever see another person upset or hurt. The only way I can describe it is I know what it's like to be hurt or sad and I would never want anyone to feel like that. I'm always the one to cheer people up. But wouldn't that be more codependent and wanting to fix/take care of people? She does want to try EMDR, but I just don't know if that's right for me.. and she specializes in it. But with no insurance, she's the most affordable I've found ($125 a week). I've tried looking up other counselors/therapists thinking because I'm completely new to all of this and dealing with being fired, divorce, being evicted from my old place all within a 4 month period. Wouldn't it probably be best to see a licensed therapist who can prescribe medication if needed?
