Self-care is one of the most important things you can learn, but the key is understanding what works best for you, and how to go about it.

But do you often find yourself struggling with self-care? Have you tried countless tactics and suggestions from people online or in your inner circle? Do you feel drained from social interactions? Are you related to the emotions your friends and family experiencing? You may find yourself questioning why you get sensitive about things, or you may believe you are overreacting.

If you’re answering yes to the majority of these questions, you might be an empath. An empath can physically, emotionally, or intuitively feel what others are feeling. Empaths are highly attuned to the emotions of what is happening around them, and can often understand others deeply and emotionally. Tell me if this sounds like you: you are watching a comedy, whether a show or a movie, and you’re watching it with your friend, but your friend is going through a tough time and may be depressed. Suddenly, you’re feeling depressed, even though earlier you were just laughing or may have felt pretty good. If you can relate to this, you might be an empath.

You also may be sensitive to other aspects of what’s happening around you, like sights, smells, sounds, and other physical elements. Being an empath goes beyond just being sensitive to the emotions of those around us.

In this audiobook, we’ll be going over the benefits and challenges of being an empath. We’ll discuss how to help ourselves recover and recharge ourselves when we take on too much of someone else’s stress, or become overwhelmed by what’s happening.

But maybe you’re here for another reason.

Do you know someone who constantly needs attention? Does this often make them disregard your feelings or the feelings of others? Do they feel they deserve special treatment and privileges?
