Recently we’ve been hearing more about “empaths”, those who pick up and internalize the feelings, the emotions, of other people. That’s how David Sauvage describes his own experience. We discuss how David discovered that much of the pain he carried was not his own, and how he learned to protect himself by creating safe boundaries, and  at times consciously processes those emotions to release them. As he came to understand his capabilities, David turned his vulnerability into a power to help heal others — through one-on-one readings, teaching, and through live performances. David has been profiled in the Guardian and on Vice TV.Find more about David Sauvage here: https://www.empath.nyc/Follow us on Instagram @ The Evolver Podcast.The Evolver is sponsored by The Alchemist’s Kitchen, a botanical dispensary dedicated to the power of plants, where you can ask an herbalist to recommend the herbal remedy that’s most right for you.Theme music is “Measure by Measure,” courtesy of DJ Spooky, aka Paul D.
