Empaths How To Recognise And Deal With Energetic Power Struggles. Empaths how to know when someone is trying to manipulate, control or overpower you and how to take your power back.
The empath is naturally open, intuitive and very energetically receptive and porous to the world around them compared to other people.
Their high level of sensitivity and empathy, makes them highly aware and deeply attuned to the people around them. But this also makes the empath energetically vulnerable to those who operate under control, dominance, emotional pressure or manipulation.
Their over empathy means they are easily blindsided or more precisely energetically entangled by the coercive patterns or energetic control of others. Until after the interaction, when they feel drained, overwhelmed, confused or even doubting themself.
This is one of the big reason many empaths attract and are more easy to find themself more easily manipulated by narcissists. Despite usually having quite strong intuition, their over empathy makes them very prone to wanting to see the potential good in others, than the reality being presented.
This blog is here to help you recognise the early signs, to reclaim your energy, step back into your personal power and sovereignty.
Why Empaths Regularly Experience Energetic Power Struggles
Empaths often attract others who
- Are seeking emotional validation
- Are seeking an energetic supply
- Are seeking admiration
- Want to exert control over
- Want someone to absorb their pain and/or discomfort
- Want someone who won’t challenge them
It is because they unconsciously sense you are open, responsive and deeply attuned to others needs and wants.
Your sensitivity in many ways is a mirror.
Your emotional intelligence and emotional generosity is something they want to have or control.
Your intuition is a threat.
And this is where the power struggles begin.

You suddenly may feel obliged, guilty, ashamed without any clear reason. For example energetically projecting on to you or emotionally manipulating you.

They question your why. They push, insist or guilt-trip you. And make your no feel unreasonable

Your grounding seems to dissolve, your intuition seems to disappear as your clarity feels lost.
Constantly Being Criticised Or Corrected
When you find yourself in a situation where someone keeps correcting you or criticising you, that is designed to destabilise your confidence. Such as someone constantly giving you unasked for or unhelpful advice, feedback, teasing or jokes that appears to undermine you.
You Feel Smaller Around You
Situations where someone is dominating the space so much, your energy shrinks, you feel anxious, afraid, small, you lose your power and inner connection.

Step Back From Their Emotional Field
Detach from their field and feelings. Return to your own field and own feelings.
Recognise You Are In A Power Struggle
Recognising the dynamic internally helps break the hold it has over you. Also it is important to remember power struggles happen in all most all close and personal relationships. Just because your an empath does not mean your immune to trying to control or manipulate a situation. In a power struggle your inner child wounding is playing out, just as much as the other person’s wounds.
Ask Them To Pause, Stop Or Slow Down
This is important in situations where you are in close proximity of the person and need time to breathe and gather your thoughts and feelings.
Reconnect With Your Self And Reassure Your Inner Child
Power struggles trigger our inner child wounds, past trauma around safety, approval, acceptance, belonging, emotional responsibility. Your inner self and inner child needs connection and reassurance not self-abandonment.
Stop Explaining And Justifying Yourself
Empaths over explain and justify many of the decisions they make when they feel pressurised or energetically entangled.
