Are you overly tuned into other people's energy? Being an empath -- is it an extra magical ability or something many of us have to overcome? We'll discover what it really is today.
The word "empath" can be overused, but today we are breaking it down both scientifically and psychologically to discover what defines an empath, how to know if you are one, and how much of one you actually are. We dive into the signs, pros, cons, and a self-assessment to determine your level of "empathism."
Are you attuned to other people's moods, emotions, body language, and energy? Do you avoid certain situations or movies because of the emotion behind them? Are you easily overwhelmed or fatigued in large crowds or gatherings? These are some signs!
Make sure to tune into Part 2 when we really dive into ways you can protect your energy if you are highly sensitive to others, i.e. highly empathic.
