Growing up I was always told "you're too sensitive".. Hell, sometimes I'm still told that! I used to take it as a negative but lately I've shifted my mindset about this usually negative statement to a positive one. . . I feel things. I feel things deeply. Truthfully, I feel like that makes me a better person and it especially makes me a better Physical Therapist! I am empathic to a strong degree. If I see people crying, there's a good chance my eyes are at least watering. I feel like it helps me understand people better, helps me put myself in their shoes. I try to look at situations from every angle to see how I would feel from a different perspective. Do I always do this? No. Do I mess up? Who doesn't? But overall I try my best. . . So I cry, I get upset, I get angry, I feel things, I show my emotions... I honestly don't see this as a negative. So often people are told to hide their feelings and emotions and what good does that do? I'd rather lay it all out on the table, feel the things, figure it out and move on rather than dwelling on it! . . #shiftingthemindset #empatheticsoul #feelthefeelingsandletthemgo #youretoosensitive #thankyouforthat #makesmebetter #dpt #physicaltherapy
