who i am
about me
Hi, I am Chris Wacanno. Seven years ago I found out that I am an empath – to give it a label. Highly sensitive, and being able to read people’s energy. It didn’t come as a big surprise, since I had been sensitive and intuitive during all my life. But some things fell into place, once I knew it.
So Why This Blog?
Especially those last years – when I got more and more aware of my empathic gifts and started to coach people – I thought many times: why didn’t I get a manual in order to know my gifts better, in order to use them properly? It would have been so handy and efficient, to know what it’s like to be a true empath. But reality was different: I grew up with some trauma’s – I believe we all do, in different ways. I had a dad (whom I trusted blindly as a kid, and loved dearly), who denied my gifts, while I was having so many questions.
My mom was a strong, loving woman – but with her own trauma’s and challenges – to whom I would bypass much of my energy back then, just to make her feel better. And I sensed much tension between my parents. So partly because of that I buried my gifts as much as I could (subconsciously).
Now, looking back, I wonder: maybe these things – and many other experiences on my path – were my manual. And I sincerely hope that I (and my stories) could be a bit of a manual for you. Perhaps I can give you all kinds of spiritual insights about having ESP’s. Or maybe you are just interested in these things. I am also a writer by nature, so you might like them as stories – personal anecdotes, and all true – as well. Whatever drew you here, you are more than welcome!
Love,
Chris Wacanno
