Have you ever seen the movie "Resurrection"? You'd enjoy it, though it's hard to locate. I don't think it's on DVD so it probably isn't on Netflix. It's something of a cult classic in energywork circles because it is loosely based on the experiences of the Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere, who taught Barbara Brennan.
I think many people go into training of some sort to control what is already an instinctual or natural gift that they have not been able to channel properly or would like to have more control over. Boundaries are one reason; I am a natural empath and had the same issues as you, pulling things into me. The first time someone "read" me they said I had energetic diarrhea, that I was like a pipeline with stuff moving through and wasn't holding enough for myself. So I worked on centering and grounding, and those are things I have to go back to, all the time, or I have problems.
Thanks for sharing. I am working on a post about "semi-permeable" boundaries for someone on my FL.
