Do you absorb emotion and energy from other people?

Do you sometimes feel plagued by too much noise or stimulation, even when you're doing something you enjoy doing?

Does your mood shift for no apparent reason?

Do you sense things that others don't, yet have no idea what you're feeling or why?

Imagine spending more than twenty-five years as a mental health professional, only to discover that your most frustrating client is yourself. So it was for Allyson Blythe, who could never seem to understand or identify an accurate diagnosis for the question that had plagued her for as long as she could remember: "What's wrong with me?"

Until she stumbled upon a word. She had encountered this word before, of course, but had never understood or considered it in the proper context. It was a word that forever altered the lens through which she saw herself. A word that changed her life. The word was Empath.

If you are anything like Allyson, then you are all too familiar with what it's like to experience the world in such an intense, profound way; what it's like to absorb the emotion and energy of others, of things, and of environments, and to be impacted by them in your mind, body, and spirit. Like Allyson, the journey to a better and more fulfilling life as an Empath starts by accepting that there is nothing wrong with you. It's just that you have not yet understood the value or the incredible power of the gift that is your Empathic ability. This book offers tools and techniques that will guide you on your journey to enlightenment as an Empath.
