When You’re an Empath, Everyone Thinks You’re Mother Teresa

People automatically assume that if you’re an empath, you must spend your nights crying over stray animals and sobbing at the end of Titanic. That you’re some kind of emotional sponge, a free psychologist, psychiatrist, and volunteer for every broken soul who happens to cross your path.

The truth is different.
An empath is someone who feels the emotions and pain of others — deeply, intensely, sometimes more than they want to. But feeling doesn’t mean absorbing. A real empath doesn’t exist to be a dumping ground for the world’s trauma. They can point out what’s hurting you, why you keep repeating the same mistakes, and how you might be unconsciously causing pain to yourself and everyone around you.

So what is my book Under My Skin really about?
Is it just another tale about twin flames?
Not quite. It’s the story of a girl who was supposed to become that emotional sieve for everyone else’s dirt. Instead, she turned out to be something else — a so-called “dark empath.” And in the end, that made her stronger.
