I feel others feelings. When they share (outside of here and at times here) can feel thier emotions.
At times can be a little taxing on me, for have my own well being to consider.
My own well being to consider seems the key. For if I take on too much of someone else's energy, feel drained and sometimes get intertwined with in the energy of another and my own.
So, what came to me a while back was "take what is mine to be mine and what is for another to for them". At times easier said then done especially if a close connection is felt.
Healing can come in many ways. Prayer, a touch, giving another space to express him/her self without judgement, relating to the feelings expressed.
Takes effort on both parties to do this and trust.
Effort on my part to listen and reach out if asked. Effort on the others part to listen and do what one can to help themselves.
Being sensitive does not mean one is weak or one has to take on the world, so to speak. It means one has a heart and cares. But, sometimes with an open heart, taking care and/or listening to my own intuition and emotions may take a back seat.
This can lead to imbalances with in myself, as I notice. So, at times have to be impartial, not uncaring, just giving myself the space to not take it all on.
If advice is asked, can give how I feel it to be. It is up to individual to put the work into bringing healing into his/her life. As I have experienced with myself.
Now am not a designated healer or counselor, just a guy living in this world who happens to be sensitive towards others.
Sometimes for me it simply takes giving another a place/person whom they can talk to. At times that is all they want, to let it out. For me takes letting it go and keeping my heart open. To pay attention to my own feelings and if felt overwhelmed or tired to breath and let the other know just not the time for it or however can be communicated that I am not in the mood ( so to speak).
Just sharing this because I feel many are more empathetic and sense things in others more then he/she may let on.
One more thing comes to mind that helps me;"there is a time to speak and a time to be silent." Listen to the intuition.

Hello Moonglow,
It's the first time I get to read you since the little time I am on this forum.
Thank you for taking the chance of sharing.
Since I just talked about the title of the first book I have read at 16 talking about spirituality on another thread. I'm quoting here the very first paragraph of this book.
"Silence and Secrecy! exclaimed Carlyle, they should be raised altars of universal worship. (If these were the days when altars were still being raised). Silence is the element in which great things are formed, so that it can finally emerge, perfect and majestic, in the light of the life they will dominate. (...) The word is great, too; but it is not the greatest. As the Swiss inscription states: the word is silver, silence is gold, or, as it would be better to say: the word is of time, the silence of eternity."
From Maurice Maeterlinck. Le Trésor des humbles.
Enjoy!
