Empath 101 flips the whole empath conversation on its head: being an empath isn’t just a mental trait—it’s an energetic phenomenon that involves your whole body. You’ll finally understand why certain people, rooms, and emotions hit you so hard… and why “trying harder” to set boundaries usually fails. When you start working with your energy (instead of just your thoughts), you can stop absorbing everyone else’s stuff and become a healthy, grounded empath who actually feels free again.

You mainly pick up other people’s emotions and can become a sponge for their feelings, both happy and sad.

You just know what people are going through. You just know that there's something that's affecting them. When something's going on in their life, even if they put a smile on their face, you just know something's off.

You are especially attuned to other people’s physical symptoms and tend to absorb them into your body. You also can become energized by someone's sense of well being.
