From Bullying to Strength: Your Sensitivity as Power

From Bullying to Strength: Embrace Your Sensitivity. Sometimes it feels like your body never truly relaxes.
As if something deep inside is always on edge, without knowing why.
You live. You do what’s expected of you. But it feels like the world moves fast, while you try to find your balance. Sometimes, everything feels too fast, too loud, too much. Sometimes it’s because you are highly sensitive. And sometimes it’s because you were bullied or experienced other difficult situations in the past.

And maybe you simply recognize this because you feel everything deeply. Your system stays alert, as if every sound or glance could mean something. What’s ordinary for others reaches you differently. And somewhere in that intensity, you lose touch with yourself. Not because something is wrong with you, but because you feel deeply.

I know how that feels. As a child, I was bullied. And for years I thought there was something wrong with me. That I was too soft, too sensitive and too different. What I didn’t understand back then was that I wasn’t weak. I just felt more. For example, I could sense tension in a room, or notice glances before anyone spoke. Everything came to me. And maybe you recognize that too: sensing the atmosphere before words are spoken. That sensitivity is not a burden. I is a strength, but only if you learn how to work with it.

You are not learning to become someone else. You are finally learning to be yourself.

Listening to Your Body

There was a time when I tried to understand everything with my head. Why I was tired, why I stayed tense and why I felt empty. Until I realized that my body had been answering me all along. Your body speaks through tension, fatigue or a racing heart. Not to trouble you, but to tell you something in your system needs attention.

When you notice this, don’t push it away just because it’s inconvenient. Ask one simple question: What do you need from me right now? What do I need to feel better? Place your hand on your heart and breathe slowly. Feel and listen. Sometimes the answer is gentle: “rest.” Sometimes it says: “relax.” And sometimes it stays silent. And that is okay too.

The Magic of Silence

We are so used to running, thinking that stopping is a waste of time. But true healing happens there, in the emptiness, in doing nothing. Try a moment of real silence. No music and no phone. It may feel strange at first, especially in the beginning. Yet, if you do it, you may discover something extraordinary: your own energy. The part of you that is always present. That never runs out. That knew who you were, even before the pain. It is there, in that silence, that you slowly return to yourself.

Feeling Your Own Energy

There came a moment when I realized: I don’t have to carry the pain of others. I can choose my own energy. For a long time, I didn’t know what “my own energy” really meant. Everything ran together. My feelings, the moods of others. Tension in a room and too many external stimuli. Until I began to discover that energy is not vague or mystical. It is something that lives in all of us. A subtle, quiet stream that is always present, but often forgotten.

Since I started training as an energetic facilitator, I’ve been learning to recognize that energy more clearly. Both in myself and in others. Feeling energy is becoming more natural for me. It helps me soften, trust my intuition, and recognize my boundaries without closing off. Energy is not something I “do”; it is something I am. And maybe you recognize this too. Sometimes sensing when something isn’t right without knowing why. Or feeling drained after interacting with someone. These aren’t coincidences. This is your system communicating and your energy speaking.

Your power doesn’t lie in what you do, but in who you are when you stay present with yourself. That quiet strength within you carries everything, always. Trust what is deeply rooted inside you, it always shows the way back.

Energy

It may sound strange, but try this:
Close your eyes and imagine your energy as a color. What color is it today?
Let that color slowly flow through you, from your feet to your crown.
Feel it fill you, cleanse you, and soften you.

This is not imagination. This is awareness. You are letting your body know: I am here, I am softly present.
When you do this regularly, something begins to shift. You notice you no longer absorb everything from outside, but remain grounded in your own center. That is when you feel: I am energy, I am connection.
And this is exactly where healing begins. Not by adding something, but by remembering who you already were in essence.

Trust Instead of Letting Go

People often say you need to “learn to let go.”
But honestly? If you’ve ever been hurt, bullied, or rejected, letting go doesn’t feel safe. It is the opposite of what you’ve learned. You held on because holding on meant survival, and that was not wrong. It was wise. It was your way of protecting yourself.

That is why I don’t believe healing starts with letting go. Healing begins with feeling safe within yourself.
You may slowly learn that you don’t need to be constantly on guard. That your body can feel, step by step, that it is safe now. Letting go doesn’t happen because you try. It happens when your body senses: I am safe enough to relax.

Maybe it starts with something small. A moment where your breath deepens, a second in which you realize: I don’t have to defend myself right now. That is the entrance. No forcing, no pushing, just allowing. Allowing that you don’t need to understand everything. And yes, allow the tension to exist too, and observe it without judgment. Allow healing to be slow.
That is letting go. Not as an action, but as a result of trust.

What True Strength in Healing Is

True strength in healing is not in doing, not in trying, not in improving yourself.
True strength lies in awareness. In daring to feel what is alive within you.
In softness where there was once hardness, and in trust where fear once ruled.

It is the strength to meet yourself again, fully and entirely.
To see your sensitivity not as a wound, but as a compass.
Because what once felt overwhelming now points the way.

That is the true power of healing: you are not learning to become someone else. You are finally learning to be yourself. From bullying to strength. From surviving to feeling. And from feeling to living.
This path is not walked in a day. But each time you listen to yourself, you take a step closer to who you truly are.
