“It is a blessing and a curse, to feel everything so deeply.”
An Invitation for Empaths in a Time of Upheaval
There’s a rumbling in the collective.
A deep grief that stretches generations.
And rising from its edges… is rage.
Maybe you’ve felt it—tight in your chest, clenched in your jaw, or pulsing in your belly.
The heartbreak of another mass tragedy.
The fury of injustice that keeps repeating.
The helplessness of witnessing so much suffering, with so little changing.
If you’re an empath, especially one who’s neurodivergent or trauma-informed, this moment might feel unbearable.
And that makes sense.
You’re not too sensitive. You’re appropriately sensitive to a world that has numbed itself to pain.
Empaths Grief and Rage
For a long time, empaths have been taught to soften, soothe, and stay small.
Grief? It makes others uncomfortable. Rage? That’s dangerous, unfeminine, too much.
But here’s the truth:
Grief is sacred. Rage is sacred, too.
Both are signals that something matters.
That something is worth protecting, mourning, fighting for.
In the current season of upheaval, empaths are not here to bypass the pain.
We’re here to alchemize it. To let it move through our bodies, inform our boundaries, and anchor our purpose.
Why Anger Feels So Scary For Empaths
Let’s be real: for many empaths, anger feels terrifying.
Maybe you grew up around explosive anger that harmed or traumatized you.
Maybe your caregivers shut down or shamed your anger before you even understood what it was.
Maybe you were the peacemaker in your family, the one who kept everything calm so no one got hurt.
Maybe you have BIG emotions that used to get you in trouble so you learned to mask them to be accepted.
So now, when rage bubbles up in your chest, it feels like a threat.
Your body might tense.
Your thoughts might race.
You might want to cry, flee, fix it, or numb out.
But here’s the truth no one told us growing up:
Feeling anger in your body is not the same as being unsafe.
Anger itself isn’t dangerous.
It’s a signal—one that says:
“Something matters deeply.”
“A boundary has been crossed.”
“Something isn’t right.”
When we allow anger or rage to rise with presence and compassion, it doesn’t consume us. It moves through us.
If you have “lost control” in the past, and that has made you worry about losing control again, know that usually, empaths lose control because they have kept it bottled up too long. Then they explode with anger.
That can be scary. For you. For others. It doesn’t have to be loud, or dramatic, or scary. Acknowledging and allowing anger can be a heat in the gut. A ‘no’ that wants to be said. A truth that needs air.
And once it’s acknowledged—once it’s felt and named with care—it begins to shift.
Letting yourself feel anger doesn’t mean you’ll lose control. It means you’re learning to reclaim your emotional sovereignty.
You get to be someone who feels everything—and still moves with intention.

What can you do with all this grief and rage you are feeling? The good news is you don’t have to process this all alone.
I invite you to a 90-minute online circle:

Explore how these emotions live in our bodies and nervous systems
Practice grounding and energy-clearing to restore your center
Reflect on how pain points to purpose—and how your sensitivity can guide your next steps
Reclaim rage as a catalyst for justice, protection, and change

You don’t have to know what your purpose is.
You just need to bring your truth.

You’re cycling between rage, numbness, and despair

Rage Can Be Sacred, Too
Empaths are not just here to hold the pain of the world.

Grief shows us what we’ve loved and lost.
Rage shows us what we’re no longer willing to tolerate.
Purpose is what happens when we let them speak to each other.
This isn’t about toxic positivity or spiritual bypassing.
It’s about truth. Community. And the possibility that even in this hard moment… we can feel, heal, and lead.
Together.
