With the technology we have now, I can sit down and have a chat with anyone anywhere in the world, any time of the day. Isolation is only a problem if one needs to speak face to face. The life coaching bit is just putting a name to what I do. In South Africa I don't need to register anything If I am just a cheerleader and not a therapist. In essence, that is what a Life Coach do, listen to your goals and aspirations and cheer you on so you reach them. Sometimes a little guidance is needed but it is still just cheer-leading.
My main object is finding Empaths or anyone wondering if they have Emphatic abilities and helping them with the problems they experience.
About 10% of the population has Emphatic ability to some measure. One of the most common manifestations is mothers knowing what is happening to their children even when they cannot see or hear them. If you are reasonably gifted but have no understanding of what it is or who to use or control it, it will turn your life into chaos.
I spent my life in constant chaos until recently and there is very little help or understanding out there.
I'm not sure about empaths being a unique gift, I certainly see people becoming more in tuned with significant others once a certain rapport has been established compared to strangers and that's reasonable because you get the other's rhythm once some bond is formed. While being in tuned with strangers seems like a hit or miss for most people especially online. Would you consider people just being wired to be selectively empathetic to those only within their social circle as Empaths too? or are the Empaths you mean are people that just have a wider, nonspecific reach within the population groups they are in?
I feel everyone has at least some Emphatic ability. The bonds we form with the people around us helps. There are some of us whose empathy goes much further than those we associate with.
Once I met a man who flew in from Brazil. A man I knew from nowhere. I shook his hand and he told me they are going to his sisters wedding. We swapped maybe 20 words. About two hours later his father died at the wedding reception. At a place I have never been. Yet I experienced every emotion he had from the moment his father had the heart attack until he fell asleep the next morning just after three. I lived it.
I have missed someone I never knew. I cried for someone who died that I never knew. I feared for children I never had. I have been miserable and feeling sick for 5 days because a friend had food poisoning. I am an Empath.
There are about 16 things that happens in the life of an Empath that does not appear in the average persons life. Some of them disappears as the Empath gains control. All of them has a very destructive effect if not brought under control.
I talk too much. Anyone may be an Empath.
