Dr. Dolores Fazzino, Nurse Practitioner, Medical Intuitive, Energy Whisperer
Have you always felt different?
Do crowded places leave you exhausted, or do you sense what others are feeling before they even speak?
Or has your sensitivity recently intensified, leaving you wondering what is happening?
What if nothing is wrong, what if your sensitivity is not a weakness, but part of your awakening?
In this grounding episode, Dr. Dolores Fazzino explores the differences between being a Highly Sensitive Person, an empath, and experiencing spiritual awakening.
While these experiences often overlap, understanding them can bring greater clarity, self trust, and compassion.
Drawing on more than four decades as a Nurse Practitioner, Medical Intuitive, and Energy Whisperer, Dr. Dolores shares practical tools for navigating energetic overwhelm while honoring your natural gifts.
You’ll learn how to recognize what energy belongs to you, what you’re absorbing from others, and how healthy energetic boundaries can transform sensitivity into a source of strength rather than exhaustion.
Your sensitivity was never the problem, it has always been part of your wisdom, and a doorway to remembering who you truly are.
The Dr. Dolores Show: How to Understand Your Energy Sensitivity

Sensitivity without discernment can feel overwhelming, but discernment without sensitivity misses most of the information available to you.
Sensitivity Is Not Weakness
Deep awareness can become a strength when it is accompanied by discernment.
“Your sensitivity was never the problem, it has always been part of your wisdom.” Dr. Dolores Fazzino
The world may have taught you to armor up, but armor was never the goal.
Discernment lets you stay open without staying unprotected.
This single question, whose feeling is this, can become one of the most useful tools you carry into any room.
Not Everything You Feel Belongs To You
Asking whether you were feeling something before entering a room, conversation, or environment helps separate awareness from ownership.
A simple pause before you walk in anywhere can save you hours of confusion afterward.
You are allowed to notice an emotion without adopting it as your own.
A boundary stated calmly and early usually costs far less energy than a resentment that builds up silently.
Boundaries Make Sensitivity Sustainable
You can care deeply without carrying other people’s emotions, problems, or responsibilities.
Compassion does not require you to absorb what belongs to someone else.
A boundary is not a wall, it is a doorway you get to open on purpose.
Learning your own quiet signals takes practice, especially if you were taught to only trust loud, obvious proof.
Your Body Communicates Quietly
Intuition may appear as subtle sensations, knowing, expansion, contraction, or clarity rather than something dramatic or urgent.
Learning to notice the quiet signals is often more useful than waiting for a loud one.
Subtle is not the same as unimportant.
Sovereignty within sensitivity looks like choosing when to open and when to close, rather than being open by default.
Becoming Sovereign Within Your Sensitivity
The goal is not to become less sensitive.
It is to become more discerning and sovereign within your sensitivity so you can remain open without losing or depleting yourself.
Your greatest challenge can become one of your greatest gifts once you learn to trust it.
If you’ve been wondering whether your sensitivity is a burden or a gift, this conversation will help you see it as a doorway to who you truly are.
A Daily Check In For Sensitive People
At the end of each day, ask yourself a simple question, whose energy am I still carrying that is not mine.
Picture setting that energy down somewhere outside of you, even if only as a mental image.
This small nightly release keeps sensitivity from quietly turning into exhaustion over time.
Over a few weeks this practice tends to make the difference between your feelings and others’ feelings much easier to spot in the moment.
