Publisher's Synopsis
An empath, or highly sensitive person, is forced to experience other people's suffering as if it were their own. It is never pleasant. This ability to feel other people's stuff is labelled as a gift, yet it is more often than not experienced as a curse. Spending time with anxious, angry or fearful people can be totally overwhelming, especially if those people are determined to dump their stuff on somebody else rather than deal with it themselves. Taking on other people's moods, emotions and even illnesses can be a life-limiting problem. The purpose of this book is to offer practical and proven solutions so that empaths can learn to enjoy the company of others rather than dread being with them. Its aim is to offer these extremely sensitive souls no-nonsense ways and means to finally discover a degree of peace in their dealings with the rest of the world.
