What is an empath? How do you know if you are an empath or have empathic tendencies? More important, how do you manage empathy so it doesn’t manage you? There is a big difference between having empathy and being an empath? “Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain,” says Dr. Judith Orloff. “But for empaths it goes much further. We actually feel others’ emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most people have.” If this describes you, this class is a must.
Some things we will cover…
-Physical, Mental, Emotional, Situational Empathy
-Energy clearing for the Empath -Protection from Sensory and Compassion Overload
-Raising and understanding your Empathic child -The Empath at work
-The Empath in relationships and how to choose a right partner if you are an empathy
-How your Empathic Nature affects you mentally, emotionally, physically
Are you an Empath?
1. Have you ever been label overly sensitive, shy or introverted?
2. Do you frequently get overwhelmed or anxious?
3. Do arguments and yelling make you physically ill?
4. Do crowds drain you? Do you need time alone to revive yourself?
5. Do noise, odors, lights and too much talk overwhelm you?
6. Do you startle easily?
7. Do you react strongly to caffeine, chemicals, and medications or have food and chemical sensitivities?
8. Do you tend to socially isolate?
9. Do you absorb other people’s stress, emotions or symptoms?
10. Do you need a lot of sleep and take a long time to recover after being with difficult people?
If you answered yes to 5 or more of these questions you are probably an empathy!
