The Difference Between Empathy and Enmeshment

There is a moment every empath reaches. No one around you sees it coming. This is what healing looks like. For decades, I had been absorbing what others were feeling, believing it was my own.

ABOUT the Author

Hi, I’m Shannon. What tried to break me built this mission. You're not the problem, and you never were.


As a highly sensitive and empathic woman, I became a target for manipulation, and covert abuse disguised as love, friendship, and mentorship. It took hitting emotional rock bottom, after betrayals, gaslighting, and repeated boundary violations, for me to finally say: enough. I walked away, but the real healing began when I turned inward. This work is the result of that return to self. The She Saves Herself Collective was born from a deep knowing: that healing isn’t about going back, it’s about becoming who we were always meant to be.
