Product Information

How I wish I could’ve read this bracing tonic of a book when I was sixteen, and so overwhelmed by confusing, painful emotions that all I could do was bury them. Being empathic is a gift, despite its drawbacks, and there are countless wonderful things that come from being this way. She blazes a way through the precarious world of self-inquiry, and she offers real-world tools that are restorative to the raw nerves of an empath. When I’m constantly overstimulated by the intense emotions from the people around me and my environment, I almost adjust to it. Even if you feel other people’s emotions just as strongly, you’ve already separated it from your emotions, and they won’t stick as much.

Exploiters put people at risk for their own gain, and empaths have a thing or two to say about that. Having a deep understanding of people’s emotions, to the point of feeling them as if they were your own, tends to create compassion. If you’re bored in your career, here’s a bunch of great jobs where empaths can use their gifts well.

When we feel broken—and when real damage has been done, it’s not always helpful to ignore our feelings and tell ourselves that we are perfect and whole. Or, more likely, you get fed up with the job — too bored and too tired — and move on to something else, in the hopes it’ll be better at the next place.

Goddess bless her for doing this groundbreaking work, and for writing this compelling, enlightening book to empower sensitive souls like me! Having a strong sense of your own emotions, keeping rigid boundaries, and maintaining the ability to care for your own emotional health will equip you to mitigate the downsides. Empaths feel more fully than other people and when they are around hateful people or things it is difficult for them to separate themselves from those feelings.As an empath, these boundaries will be crucial to your mental health and ability to cope with the downsides of your gift. If your job, your school, or domestic life is boring, you’ll find your thoughts drifting far and wide, lost daydreaming and wishing to be somewhere else.

Even when you aren’t sure what you are feeling, empaths can read your body language and tell you what you are experiencing.Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another’s position. Learning the details of people’s stories and the things that caused them to feel a certain way will benefit you. They can see people manipulating situations from afar and they’ll be sure to point it out when it gets out of hand. When you reach catharsis as an empath, you will feel truly refreshed, energized, and clear of any foreign emotions. Finally, we’ll dig into the concept of catharsis: what it is, how it helps, and how you can achieve it.
