On another article we've been exploring what the 'base wound' of those with strongly empathic tendencies might be...

What Spiritual "Empaths" and "Catalysts" might Learn From Each Other

So what might the base wound be for those with strongly catalytic qualities?

Speaking personally it is the feeling of always being active, of always being responsible for the transformation of a situation - that it's not helpful to settle into a situation too long, less the energy fester there. Whilst you don't feel responsible for others, you feel responsible to help them move forwards. And whatever you do in any given situation, it seldom feels like you've done enough. There's a constant moving of energies, whether it be people's or in the field, that you tend to engage in.

So I would say the essence of the base wound for a 'catalyst' is that of feeling eternally responsible.

What helped me enormously was the simple realisation of there being no great 'end goal'. When I accepted that I was in an infinite game with only short term challenges and steps, then the whole 'shebang' relaxed and opened up. Plus realising the nature and value of your internal 'gearbox'. Being able to quickly shift up and down the gears of activity. And accepting the intensity of life, not needing it to be slow (although enjoying that too when it is). I've had many times where I purposefully play with the intensity. I do find things much easier to deal with these days - the intensity has transitioned to a speed within the Toroidal flow. That tends to resolve convoluting energies out pretty quickly. Then it's back to gentleness!

So what's your experience of catalytic energies and the wound?
