The Empowered Empath

Description

Learn how to embrace other people’s feelings while validating your own with this guided workbook’s 100+ writing prompts and activities.

Empathy is the act of experiencing the world as you think or perceive someone else does. Many people try to improve their ability to empathize, with the goal of becoming a more compassionate, kind, and generous person. For empaths and highly sensitive people (HSPs), however, empathy can be debilitating. 

If you are an empath, you are so highly empathic that you literally feel others people’s feelings, which can lead to becoming so focused on others and world events that you may struggle to focus on your own life, feelings, and goals. You may also experience empath fatigue, which leads to all kinds of physical and emotional problems that detract from your ability to enjoy your life. 

If you are a highly sensitive person (HSP), you often feel overwhelmed by sensory input, which makes you sensitive to stimuli like noise, raging emotions, or seeing violence. You can become so affected by others’ moods that overstimulation can cause nervous exhaustion. 

Whether you’re an empath or an HSP, The Empowered Empath will show you how to validate the feelings of others while protecting your own feelings and experiences so you can ultimately heal.

This friendly and warm, yet authoritative, guided workbook will help you to:

• Identify yourself as highly sensitive or an empath, along with your strengths and weaknesses
• Calm hyper-empathy
• Manage empathy fatigue
• Master your emotions
• Identify initial trauma and vulnerabilities
• Bolster emotional resilience
• Set boundaries
• and more

Chapters include quizzes as part of the more than 100 unique, focused writing prompts as well as activities such as grounding, meditation, and creating shields to protect your spirit. The activities, writing prompts, and inspiring quotes throughout will help you and your healing journey.
