KiThe High Sensitivity Circus: Life at Level 10 Empathy
So, you think you’re sensitive? A 5 on the empathy scale (0–10)? Maybe a 7 when you’re watching sad dog commercials?
Sit tight, my friend, because we’re about to dive into the world of the true Empath Olympics.
We’re talking Level 10 empaths—those rare individuals who experience empathy physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically.
Tho with people close to you, you don’t have to be “empath 10" in order to share energies or illness☺
Watching your circle?
Highly sensitives don’t just cry when someone else cries—they feel that person’s back pain, wonder why their stomach is suddenly in knots, and sense a mysterious wave of sorrow from someone three countries over.
It’s as if the universe handed them the manual for "How to Be Everyone Else Simultaneously," but forgot to include the off switch.
What Does High Sensitivity Actually Mean?
First, let’s bust the myth that high sensitivity is just "being emotional." No, high sensitivity is science. The brain of a highly sensitive person (HSP) processes information differently.
It’s wired like a hyperactive surveillance system, constantly scanning, analyzing, and overthinking/overfeeling everything.
High sensitivity involves increased activity in the brain regions responsible for empathy, fears, awareness, and emotional regulation,.
This is everything but linear thinking.
Brain is often flooded with so much "incoming data" that the poor person is left trying to sort through what’s theirs and what belongs to everyone else.
But let’s get spiritual for a second.
What if this high sensitivity isn’t just about the brain?
What if it’s a direct result of a high soul or spirit smashing itself into a physical body, like trying to cram a supercomputer into a toaster?
The Trauma of Embodiment
Imagine being a vast, cosmic, multidimensional being who suddenly finds themselves in a physical body.
Claustrophobic yet?
Now imagine that body comes with its own baggage—ancestral traumas (DNA), societal conditioning..
As 16 years old I answered question:” Who do you want to be (professionally) when you grow up?”
My answer still makes me laugh.
“mainly I just wanna be me, because this isn’t ME!”
The world and YOU doesn’t know what to do with your sensitivity and “knowing”.
Many highly sensitive people have trauma not because they’re weak, but because their spirit carries the memory of a purer, freer state.
Earth isn’t exactly gentle with its inhabitants, especially those who feel everything. That’s how it is in Higher dimensions> we don’t speak, we don’t need telepathy. We simply know and we have no reason to harm.
The result of this shock therapy?
Sensitives often end up with emotional trauma layered on top of their innate hyperawareness. They don’t just feel; they over-feel. The neighbor’s bad mood? It’s suddenly their bad mood. The collective anxiety of a global crisis? They’re awake at 2 a.m., wondering why their chest is tight.
Empathy Overload: The Level 10 Life
Being a Level 10 empath is like being a human antenna, but instead of broadcasting signals, you’re absorbing them.
People near you don’t even need to explain their feelings—you already know. Someone across the room sighs, and you’re instantly analyzing their life choices and wondering if they need a snack.
And don't get me started on energetic empathy—feeling the vibes of people you've never even met.
It’s exhausting.
It’s overwhelming.
It’s ridiculous.
But here’s the kicker: Many high-sensitivity folks think it’s their fault. They believe they’re broken because they can’t just “shake it off” like the T-Swifts of the world. But newsflash: You’re not broken. You’re just processing more than most people ever will.
So before you teach our children empathy first LEARN where on scale our children are?!
The Healing Discovery:
Trauma Meets AVS
Now, let’s talk healing. After working with myself and my clients, I’ve discovered something both revolutionary and laughably simple: the key to taming Level 10 empathy isn’t about shutting it off.
It’s about rewiring your brain so you can manage it.
Enter AVS: Advanced Visualization & Audio Systems—or, as I like to call it, “prefrontal lobe boot camp.”
By activating the prefrontal cortex, you train your brain to engage in linear, grounded thinking.
Suddenly I hear myself thinking “feeling Refused?
Judged?
Abandoned?
Waw how wasted emotionality?! Useless, unnecessary pain…”
Yes my new found linear tool allows me to choose “not to get there/involved..”
Obviously focus and dopamine is also rocketing, thanks to activity in prefrontal lobes.
Think of it as the ultimate bouncer for your overactive sensitivity. Instead of getting swept away by waves of emotional overwhelm, you channel your brain’s energy into logic and clarity. You stop drowning in other people’s feelings and start recognizing what’s yours versus what’s theirs.
AVS isn’t just helpful; it’s brilliant. It’s like giving your brain a pair of noise-canceling headphones.
And let’s be honest—there’s something deeply funny about the idea that the most spiritual, cosmic souls can be healed by…thinking in straight lines.
It’s as if the universe gave us this massive cosmic assignment and then handed us a ruler to solve it.
Finding Humor in Sensitivity
If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a Level 10 empath, it’s that humor is essential.
High sensitivity can feel heavy—like carrying the world’s emotional baggage on your back while also trying to figure out why your stomach hurts every time Aunt Susan visits.
But when you step back and see the absurdity of it all, it gets lighter. But awareness doesn’t change it.
For instance: The moment you realize that you’ve been avoiding cheese because someone else’s dairy intolerance is affecting you.
Or the time you apologized to a plant for accidentally breaking a leaf (true story). Or when you burned sage for a week straight because you swore you absorbed your coworker’s existential crisis.
The Takeaway
High sensitivity is both a gift and a challenge. It’s not about fixing yourself—it’s about understanding how you’re wired and learning to work with it.
Trauma (soul’s or body’s) can amplify sensitivity, but it doesn’t define it.
Tools like AVS, brain training, and a healthy dose of humor can help you thrive as a Level 10 empath.
So, to my fellow sensitive souls: Embrace the ridiculous beauty of your existence. Laugh at the weirdness of it all. And when in doubt, remember—AVS is your brain’s best friend, and your spirit is stronger than any cheese-induced stomach ache.
Keep healing, keep growing, and most importantly, keep being your gloriously sensitive self. But with functional prefrontal lobes.
Balance holistic thinking with linear and then sky really will be only limit!
