Personal growth work alone is not enough to shift this lifelong pattern. In Becoming an Empowered Empath , intuitive healer and teacher Wendy De Rosa will guide you step-by-step to help

Through guided meditations, journaling exercises, and practices for energetic self-care, Wendy empowers you to embrace your gifts, embody light, and become a vital agent for positive change.

For anyone dealing with sensitivity and overwhelm, this book is a wonderful tool. Wendy DeRosa leads you on a beautiful journey of self discovery that includes re-parenting your inner child, grounding your emotions and anchoring your true sense of self in your lower body, protecting your energy, and turning your shadows into wisdom. Through journaling, and deep guided meditations, you will learn how to heal your wounds and acquire the empowerment that had always seemed elusive. This author is deeply caring and compassionate and you will feel supported in this process at all times. Especially now in these current times of unrest, upset and upheaval, it is wonderful to have such a wise woman to guide us through to the shores of empowerment. And as empowered empaths, we can begin to change the world!

Given to me as a gift- which is good, since I would not have bought this for myself. Not because I have any particular beef with the subject matter, but because I don't really think I am personally an empath. So I haven't really tried to look more into what that might mean or feel like, etc.

While I still don't know exactly how I would 'classify' my sensitivity, this was interesting in that it mentions things like personal privilege and narcissists in a way that I haven't read in similar (mindfulness-type) books.

This book does a great job of connecting the dots between childhood trauma, neuroscience (she doesn’t speak to this, but having already studied it, it’s clear how it plays a role here), psychology and the energetic body is a really clear and easily understandable way.

As an empath, if you’ve done any inner child, shadow or trauma work, and have also been curious about how these themes present energetically, you’ll probably appreciate this book.

While some may consider energy work to be spiritual in nature, this book doesn’t have an overly spiritual tone. She even speaks to the damage of common new age spiritual bypassing, which is so common these days.

As an empathic intuitive who finds it difficult to be around others, I’m finding the explanations and practices practical and effective for taking better care of my energy for my own protection and well-being.

The free recorded meditations that accompany the book are a great supplement, since I don’t find reading them to be very helpful.

Overall a quick, easy and simple read with practical tools to navigate living as an intuitive empath or highly sensitive person.

I had a hard time finishing this. So many unsupported, “out there” claims. Not what I was looking for or expecting and not helpful to me.

A great listen! I did the audiobook version of The Empowered Empath. What stood out most for me were the guided meditations woven throughout, which made the listening experience feel more like a practice than just a book.

The author’s voice is calm and grounding, and I found myself pausing often to do the exercises instead of just listening passively.

It’s a book that doesn’t just explain what it means to be an empath, but also gives you tools to navigate the overwhelm, find balance, and tap into your strengths. The audio format brought that to life in a way the print version might not have.

Have you ever listen to an audio book and said “this book was made for audio.” That’s how I felt about this one.

This book is rich in ideas and ways to connect and teach someone who is working on being more connected to their energy. The audio book has fully guided meditations and journaling prompts that are good reflection starters.

I will probably go through this more than once. At the very least for the meditations and journal entries.

Finally a book that actually help empaths. Be aware that this book is for those who know what being an empath is, as there is no introduction to the subject. Each chapter is short and at the point.
I very much enjoyed that all the meditations are available at her website, without extra cost. This has been very valuable for me.

For someone who's not typically into self-help books, this one surprised me. It's an easy read filled with a plethora of tools to develop your spirituality as an empath. I enjoyed the focus on Chakras and I resonated with many of the topics and ideas the author explores. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels they are highly sensitive and is struggling with it.

Read some articles by author and she really spoke to me, but didn't finish - had a lot of meditation exercises - not what I was looking for at this time, but I'm sure would be very helpful for others.

Had a few too many meditation exercises for me. Basically every chapter ended with one. Not that it’s practical it’s just not what I was looking for at the moment.

I wish that it didn’t “blame” so much on trauma and explored neurodivergency more. But overall enjoyed!

I don’t understand chakras. I didn’t know that this book contained them. It made it too confusing for me to finish.
