Thriving as an Empath

Thriving as an Empath Synopsis

A follow-up to the 2017 book The Empath's Survival Guide, this daily reader provides 365 days of guidance, practices, and strategies to help highly sensitive people identify their strengths, make use of their gifts, and thrive in an overstimulating world. Organized by the four seasons, each day's entry addresses a particular challenge or advantage shared by empaths and closes with an intention for the day. Some of these daily offerings are tied to the time of year, such as strategies for reconciling the wintry need for retreat and solitude with the demands of the busy holiday season. Others are more general, such as tips for recognizing when an emotion is not your own, and practices to protect yourself from unwanted emotional influences. Primary themes of the book include: reframing empathic sensitivity as a strength rather than a weakness, the importance of daily self-care practices for personal empowerment, the importance of protection from unwanted energies or stimuli, nature as a grounding and nurturing influence, and reconnection to the cycles of the seasons and the cosmos as an antidote to feeling " cornered by the clock." While Dr. Orloff returns to themes covered in The Empath's Survival Guide, this book's content is wholly new
