Are you the kind of highly sensitive person who feels agonized in someone’s grief or trauma, crouching down to bestow love for the roadside puppy, or live through the pain or loss in a fictional TV show? Then you are definitely an empath.

Empathy is a term used to describe an intrinsic trait to recognize and share the emotions of someone else. Empathy is an evolutionary trait bearing a link with some other primates like dogs and rats. Rudimentary empathy starts developing in infants at the age of two, when a kid has an emotional response corresponding to that of another person. An empath is a person with the innate ability to absorb emotions or sentiments of others.

Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from egotistic admiration of one's idolized self-image and attributes. The best ways to deal with a narcissist is to identify them first, their limitations, and then avoid their mind games, determine if an intervention works, and deal with compassion always. An empath should learn self-healing first before healing others and stop being an emotional sponge. An empath should cut connections from all negative thought-forms and be in the presence of like-minded, uplifting, positive people. Also, learn to meditate and control your mind and body. Another suggestive method is a sea-salt bath and use of protective stones.

At this point in your life, if you feel that you are an empath and that you need to relieve yourself off from the mental constraints, you will have to buy this audiobook!
