empath overindulgence

Indulgence is allowing oneself or another to participate in enjoyable things for a longer amount of time than is healthy. When unbalanced by emotional intensity and energetic sensitivity, an empath may overindulge in “comfort” things. This is an attempt to escape all that is being sensed, felt, and experienced. It may take the shape of overeating, drinking too much, overspending, reckless sexual behavior, addictions to drugs or video games, and many other things. If an empath is too open, they will be vulnerable. It’s important to stay protected and to remain grounded. A grounded empath moves through the world very differently than the overindulgent empath.
