I worked with a friend/boss for 17 years and was recently laid off from the company by said boss. We have always had an empathic bond and even now I can feel all his anxiety over a number of things that happened and are happening surrounding this.
I would like to sever that bond as I’m no longer interested in knowing how he feels.
I searched and came up with nothing that talked about breaking an existing connection when it comes to empaths.
I don’t want to sever all my connections with those around me. Just this particular one. Is it doable? Or is it once an empath, always an empath no matter who?
I can imagine this burden of being a empath it felt really rheavy and I am glad that you are aware of the effect it has on you! Having boundaries with people is so important. unfortunately, I was not taught boundaries so taking a course on Insight Timer is something that you can do. To help guide you to have those boundaries!
I just did a meditation and cut some cords!
I cleansed my vortex
I imagine a bubble around me and protect myself with a shield and call ur spirit guidance! I pray for you sending the light over your whole being!

I’m so sorry, it sounds like a difficult situation- I think you’re right to find a way to remove the energy cord if it is carrying extra anxiety your way.
Absolutely! I want to second what Artemisia and Jeannie already mentioned about the Cord Cutting- this is a strong and final way to break a bond between two clearly-specified parties. Those not involved/not mentioned in the ritual will not be affected by the cord cutting. It is a great way to sever an unwanted tie between two people
Artemisia already shared several cord cutting spells you might use. I would suggest taking a look at those (and feeling free to adapt any of them to best suit your needs, if you wish).
An Empath’s abilities are strong- after the cord cutting, you might consider looking into ways to lay protections over your energies and prevent unwanted energies/emotions of others from coming through and affecting you in negative ways in the future.
There’s a great guide about being an Empath that I recommend reading (here: Are you an Empath? ) and there are several resources about Empath Protection in the forum that may be of use to you. Here are a few:
