What is an Empath?
Put simply, an Empath is a person who absorbs other people’s emotions and experiences these emotions as if they were their own.
Empathic people are extremely sensitive to the emotional energy of those around them and as a result, tend to commonly experience energetic overload in the form of fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
However, despite their tendency to “soak up” the energy of other beings, Empaths are highly compassionate, loving, intuitive, and insightful people, which draws them to inner work.
