Why the Family Empath Becomes the Scapegoat: If you're an Empath or Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) "TruthTeller" in a dysfunctional or narcissistic family system, you may have grown up hearing "You're too sensitive," or "Stop being so dramatic," or "You're overreacting I was just kidding!" Psychotherapist and author of 'Rejected, Shamed, and Blamed', Rebecca C. Mandeville, explains why the family Empath will often end up in the 'SCAPEGOAT' role And why the difficult (and threatening) truths, feelings, and subtle realities they reflect and express within their family will be denied, diminished, or dismissed by those who hold the most power in the system.
