Empaths <\/a>are highly sensitive, finely tuned instruments when it comes to emotions. They feel everything, sometimes to an extreme, and are less apt to intellectualize feelings. Intuition is the filter through which they experience the world. Empaths are naturally giving, spiritually attuned, and good listeners. If you want heart, empaths have got it. Through thick and thin, they\u2019re there for you, world-class nurturers.<\/p>\n

The trademark of empaths is that they know where you\u2019re coming from. Some can do this without taking on people\u2019s feelings. However, for better or worse, others, like myself and many of my patients, can become angst-sucking sponges. This often overrides the sublime capacity to absorb positive emotions and all that is beautiful. If empaths are around peace and love, their bodies assimilate these and flourish. Negativity, though, often feels assaultive, exhausting. Thus, they\u2019re particularly easy marks for emotional vampires, whose fear or rage can ravage empaths. As a subconscious defense, they may gain weight as a buffer. When thin, they\u2019re more vulnerable to negativity, a missing cause of overeating explored in my book Positive Energy<\/a>\"\". Plus, an empath\u2019s sensitivity can be overwhelming in romantic relationships; many stay single since they haven\u2019t learned to negotiate their special cohabitation needs with a partner.<\/p>\n

When empaths <\/a>absorb the impact of stressful emotions, it can trigger panic attacks, depression, food, sex and drug binges, and a plethora of physical symptoms that defy traditional medical diagnosis from fatigue to agorophobia. Since I\u2019m an empath, I want to help all my empath-patients cultivate this capacity and be comfortable with it.<\/p>\n

Empathy doesn\u2019t have to make you feel too much all the time. Now that I can center myself and refrain from shouldering civilization\u2019s discontents, empathy <\/a>continues to make me freer, igniting my compassion, vitality, and sense of the miraculous. To determine whether you\u2019re an emotional empath, take the following quiz.<\/p>\n
