Empath Heart: Relationship Strategies for Sensitive People

by Tanya Carroll Richardson

Empaths are highly sensitive and feel other people’s energies and emotions as if they were their own. Uniquely intuitive and hyper-perceptive, empaths are also more sensitive to collective energy, the energy of spaces, and in some cases even physical stimuli like noise. Interacting with the world so intimately is a blessing, yet it also means your relationship strategies as an empath—not just regarding romantic love, but in all areas—must be navigated thoughtfully.

Romantic partners, friends, coworkers, and family members all present opportunities for uncommonly close connections, though empaths might fall into rescuing, codependency, or people-pleasing as unhealthy relationship coping skills.
  Instead, learn

* More mindfully choose between feeling with others or staying in your own energy and emotions. * Support loved ones from a place of healthy detachment and discernment. * Be more assertive about getting  your  needs and desires met. * Protect and nourish your sensitive system. * Understand and maximize your intuition. * Nurture your relationships to create more healing intimacy. * Engage with collective energy in an empowered way to be of service and live with more purpose.
  Author and professional intuitive Tanya Carroll Richardson has worked with thousands of empath clients from all over the world. Here she presents a guide to relationships of all kinds with empaths and sensitives specifically in mind, complete with quizzes, interactive exercises, and helpful mantras that make this book a valuable resource for connecting with yourself as well as creating more fulfilling interactions with others.

The title sounds lovely - until you find out that Tanya uses the term EMPATH to mean PSYCHIC. No kidding!

But I care about empaths, and won't sit by passively or silently as authors like Tanya are messing with the good name of EMPATH. This does not mean PSYCHIC or INTUITIVE. Psychics like Tanya have their own words for what they do. Whereas, if the integrity of the word empath is destroyed, what will replace it?

I've been writing a series of blog comments to clean up the name of EMPATH. See detailed comments about Tanya's book at my article on "Can That Empath Teacher REALLY Help You?"

See Comments #1905-1972.

Tanya isn't even an empath, actually. See why I think so, along with an inspiring story about my meeting with a real empath and doing a Skilled Empath Merge with her.

This book of hers could really confuse readers about what an empath is.

but i was pleasantly surprised by how many suggestions and reassurances i hadn’t thought of before were super helpful!
