She Feels Your Pain Literally: A Conversation With Pain Intuitive Sheena Wyrick

Sheena Wirick is a pain intuitive. She literally feels other people's physical and emotional pain in her own body and then helps release it. She works virtually, has helped nonverbal children communicate what they are experiencing, and once worked on a man mid-flight while driving her minivan to ice skating lessons. I had a session with her myself and walked away with a lot to think about. This conversation went deep fast and I loved every minute of it.

What a Pain Intuitive Actually Does

Sheena describes her work simply.

She yawns for a living.

When she tunes into a client, she physically feels whatever they are feeling. Right shoulder pain, left toe, sciatica, emotional heaviness, all of it registers in her own body. As she works through it, the yawning is how her body processes and releases what she is taking on. She has learned that physical pain and emotional pain are deeply connected, and that nearly all physical pain has an emotional root.

Lower back pain, for example, almost universally represents feeling unsupported. When she works with men who have it, she will ask questions about where they feel unsupported in life, in childhood, in marriage, at work, and the answers almost always unlock the release.

How She Got This Gift and What It Cost Her

Sheena did not stumble into this. She asked for it.

After a miscarriage in late 2019, she dropped to her knees and prayed one of the most raw and specific prayers I have heard described. She told God she did not want to suffer more than necessary. She asked to know the baby. She asked for the veil to be thin. And then she said something bold.

If there are spiritual gifts I do not even know to ask for, I want those too.

She meant it. And by January 2020, the gifts started flooding in. She had no user manual. She just started trusting. The pain empath gift surfaced while she was in training and felt a client's hip pain so clearly she could describe exactly where it was before being told. The healing gift came shortly after. And it has not stopped since.

"If there are spiritual gifts I do not even know to ask for, I want those too. And anything else you have that I have not thought to ask for, I want it all."

Prayer, Vibration, and How We Limit God

"Our prayers are answered by other people. Go into that curiosity of, wow, I wonder how he is going to come through for me."

One of my favorite threads in this conversation was about prayer. Sheena made a point that has genuinely shifted how I think about asking God for things.

When we beg and plead and focus all of our energy on what we do not want to happen, the universe responds to that vibration of worry and fear.

What if instead we prayed from a place of expectation and curiosity?

Thank you for the healing this person will receive. I cannot wait to see how you come through. She talked about the ways we unknowingly limit God by assuming we have to be righteous enough, obedient enough, worthy enough to receive blessings. The year her gifts came in, she had barely opened her scriptures. God came through anyway. Because he saw her heart.

That resonated deeply with me. My own prayer life completely transformed when I stopped checking a box and started having an actual conversation.

Generational Patterns and the Emotions We Inherit

Sheena brought up generational trauma in a way that clicked for me. Emotions are chemical. They live in the body. And they can be passed down through family lines without anyone realizing it. She described working with clients who carry patterns of anger or fear or scarcity and finding that only a fraction of it actually belongs to them. The rest is inherited.

When those generational patterns release, it does not just free the client.

It releases forward and backward through the family line. The idea that we can break a cycle not just for ourselves but for our children and our ancestors is a powerful thing to sit with.

"You shall know them by their fruits. My fruits are all good. I am helping people. That is my answer to the pushback."

How She Keeps Her Confidence When People Push Back

Sheena has received pushback, people calling her gifts not of God, questioning what she does, dismissing it entirely. Her answer is straightforward.

You shall know them by their fruits.

She keeps a miracle journal. Every day she writes down the small and large miracles she witnesses in her own life and her clients' lives. The scriptures say to remember, and that is exactly what the journal does. When things get hard or doubt creeps in, she has evidence. Pages and pages of it.

She also offered a reminder I want to pass along. Do not compare your gifts. What you carry is specific to you and it is needed. The gift of asking, the gift of remembering names, the gift of holding space, the gift of a genuine smile. Every good gift comes from God.

Stand in the confidence of what you have and start using it.

Make it a great day 💕
