Myths About Emotions and Sensitive Souls
Sensitive individuals are often labelled as too emotional. This label is misleading.
Every human being has emotions. What differs is how deeply emotions are felt, processed, and lived. Sensitive individuals experience emotions with more depth and awareness. This is not a flaw, it is a skill that has simply gone unsupported in most environments.
When emotions are misunderstood, sensitivity becomes exhausting. When emotions are understood, sensitivity becomes more easy to embrace.
Emotions Are Not Weaknesses — They Are Tools
As a sensitive individual and practitioner, I work with emotions daily. I do not see emotions as problems to fix. I see them as signals.
Emotions help us:
make aligned decisions
protect our energy
notice when something is off
move toward what feels right
When emotions are respected, life feels less forced and more intentional.
Unfortunately, emotions are often spoken about negatively. Yet emotions are what allow connection to ourselves, others, animals, and nature. Objects do not feel. Living beings do.
That ability to feel is not something to minimize, it is something to care for.
So the next time someone comments on you being emotional, remember this: having emotions means you are responsive, aware, and alive.
Sensitive Souls and Emotional Connection With Nature
Many sensitive individuals feel calm, safe, and understood in nature. This is not accidental.
Sensitive nervous systems naturally pick up subtle cues including sound, texture, presence, energy. Trees and plants offer a steady, non-verbal form of support that does not overwhelm or judge.
This is why many empaths feel emotionally connected to trees and plants.
My Work With Plants and Trees
I am a plant empath and plant healing practitioner. I work closely with trees and plants as part of my daily life and professional practice.
Some of my tree companions are Birch, Muddy, Juniper, and Mr. Leafy. Each has a distinct presence. Juniper and Muddy function as my tree and plant guides. They support me when I experience emotional overload or high stimulation.
Plants communicate in quiet, practical ways. The experience differs for each person and that is a strength. There is no single “right” way to connect with plants.
What matters is the mutual sense of support.
Why Plant Support Works for Sensitive People?
Many sensitive individuals find it easier to share emotions with plants than with people. Nature does not interrupt. It does not minimise. It does not rush healing.
For example, while writing this, I am sitting in a busy café. The stimulation is intense. I connected with Juniper and expressed my frustration. The guidance I received was simple and useful: Protect your energy. Honour your boundaries.
I did not have to figure this out alone. The support was steady and grounding.
Over time, these connections become clearer and more reliable. Emotional honesty with plants builds trust with nature and with yourself.
And if this feels strange at first, know this: You already know one human who talks to trees.
That person is me.
