Once again, this leads me to believe you are very inclined to performing Psychometry. Psychometry is a wonderful gift to naturally possess. Many psychics working with police investigations and missing person cases use psychometry to assist them in the information they relay to the authorities. You were given this naturally, find out how to use it to best suit humanity.

Shielding is actually quite easy and can be done a variety of ways depending on the person. I personally project a protective energy around myself by envisioning white light that bleeds from each pore and creates a protective shield. I also Call upon God to assist me in my shielding. Another technique I use is just like unplugging a plug from an outlet in the wall. Once I identify the person I'm receiving emotion on, I envision the plug that is connecting the emotion to me. This plug is attached to my stomach or solar plexus as that is where I have found I receive the most information when it comes to emotional keys to others. I mentally envision the plug and mentally "unplug" it. (I use this technique when I'm not in the mood to cut off all of my psychic intuition at that moment) Otherwise, sometimes I will completely block all when I shield completely.
If you've never worked with energy or things such as shielding, this may all sound a bit wierd to you but it's time to face it. In this day and age, you James would be considered wierd and so would I and so would many others. Who cares. You are an Empath and a psychic that strongly leans toward intuitions on past and psychometry. You may have much more but I'm only going off of what you have indulged us with. An Empath must learn to shield. You have already taken the 1st step on your own which was identifying what emotions are yours and which are not. Take the next step. You do not always have to shield. Empathy can be a wonderful gift that allows you to see and feel things about other people that may enable you to actually assist them more so than you could have if you did not have the empathic gift.
YOu can always google searches on psychic shielding but I found that shielding really becomes quite personal to the individual who does it and once you learn how to do it, You'll come up with the way that feels most comfortable to yourself.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask or you can PM me as well and I'll try to help you out with learning how to shield.
