The Myth of Taking On Energy: What Empaths & Healers Need to Know

Rethinking Energy Absorption: How Sensitives Can Stay Open Without Losing Their Center

Ever left a healing session — or even a simple conversation — feeling wiped out, convinced you’d picked up someone else’s “stuff”? What if you weren’t carrying their energy at all… but meeting aspects of your own field?

In this short, powerful episode, Keith and Christabel unravel one of the most persistent myths in the healing world: that we “absorb” the energy of others. You’ll learn why sensitivity can feel like a burden, what’s really happening in those moments of depletion, and how to stay open and connected without losing your center.

You’ll discover:

• Why the “I’ve taken on their energy” story feels true — and why it’s incomplete
• The subtle mechanics of resonance, mirroring, and your own unintegrated patterns
• How loss of coherence and over-identification can drain your energy
• Why real energetic integrity comes from cultivation, not constant protection
• Through the Field Dynamics lens, you’ll see why this reframing changes everything for empaths, healers, and anyone navigating the energetic impact of others.

We explore this in depth — with the tools and practices to transform your sensitivity into strength — in our live and online EHT-100 professional training. The next cohort is now enrolling for a 6th September start. Places still available.
