Description

This is a tough world for sensitive people. From the constant bombardment of the 24-hour news cycle to the presence of untold numbers of visual, audio, and chemical toxins in our environment, those of us with naturally high sensitivity can find ourselves easily overwhelmed.

And understanding can be hard to find. Have you been told you need to “grow a thick skin”? Have you been treated as if your sensitivity is some kind of weakness or character flaw?

I know just how you feel. I’m an empath myself.

WHAT’S AN EMPATH?

Since you’re reading this, you probably already have a good idea. Empaths are emotional sponges who absorb both the stress and joy of the world. We feel everything, often to an extreme.

If you feel as if you don’t fit in this world,
it’s because you’re here to create a better one.

When I was growing up, I didn’t have any resources to explain the needs that came with exceptional sensitivity—and neither did my parents or teachers. I ended up turning to drugs and self-numbing strategies that nearly cost me my life before I finally found help.

Since then, I’ve become a physician, psychiatrist, researcher, and intuitive healer, and I have made a special point of studying the needs and gifts of empaths and highly sensitive people.

IT’S MY MISSION TO MAKE SURE EMPATHS LIKE YOU GET WHAT THEY NEED TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE.

That’s why I’m excited to bring you The Empath’s Survival Guide Online Course. I created this course as a companion to my book The Empath’s Survival Guide to serve as a hands-on resource for learning the skills you need to become healthy and empowered in a world that is often coarse, heartless, and disdainful of sympathy.

I also want to provide information and tools for parents, families, partners, and friends who have an empath in their life. The more we learn to value both our own sensitivities and those of the people around us, the more we will be able to connect and support one another.

Empaths and sensitive people face many unique challenges, including:

• Becoming overstimulated—empaths are vulnerable to sensory and social overload
• Absorbing stress and negativity from others—making you more susceptible to “contagious” psychological challenges
• Feeling things intensely—you may be unable to watch violence, abuse, and suffering in the news or entertainment
• Emotional and social hangovers—the effects of being around too many people or intense emotions can linger long after the event
• Isolation and loneliness—your self-protection strategies may cut you off from the world
• Emotional burnout—people long to share their suffering with a compassionate friend, but many empaths don’t know how to set clear boundaries to keep from being swamped
• Expressing needs in intimate relationships—empaths can find themselves easily drawn into unhealthy and codependent relationships
• Special challenges for each gender—empathic men are often ridiculed for being “sissies,” while empathic women struggle with authentic self-expression

For each of these challenges (and many others), I have created strategies and practices to help empaths overcome and prosper. In The Empath’s Survival Guide Online Course, I’ll be teaching you the most effective techniques I know.

I call this course a “survival guide,” but survival is only the first step. Your gifts are needed so much today. Many of our greatest challenges arise from our cultural training to be constantly afraid, isolated, and numbed into insensibility.

EMPATHS AND SENSITIVE PEOPLE ARE PIONEERS ON THE FOREFRONT OF A NEW WAY OF BEING FOR HUMANKIND.

We empaths have many marvelous traits. We have huge hearts and the instinct to help others in need. We’re dreamers and idealists. We are passionate, caring, creative, in touch with our emotions, and able to see the big picture. We have exceptional attunement to the natural world and a great capacity for spiritual awakening.

You are not “overly sensitive.” Once you learn to manage your sensitivities, you will unlock extraordinary gifts for your personal well-being and the greater good.
