What is an empath?

There are many different types of empaths in our world.


Dr. Orloff is a researcher psychiatrist at UCLA studies Empaths. According to Dr. Orloff's book, The Empath's Survival Guide, There is a Difference Between Having Empathy and Being an Empath. When a person has empathy it means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain, yet for empaths, it goes much further. We actually feel others' emotions, energy, and physical sensations in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most people have." 

Since there are many different types of empaths with different empathic gifts. 

It is important to study our gifts and do personal development work with professionals who understand what an empath is and how it impacts our mind, body, emotions, the shadow, the soul and energy. 

There is a lot of new research about these types of empathic Senses and about 25% of the population are said to be Highly Sensitive at this time by researchers who have gathered this data from around the world. 

So if someone is sad and standing in front of an emapth they will feel sadness and feel all they feel is their own sadness. This can cause confusion and a misunderstanding about feelings we experience. 

Emapths have a more finely attuned nervous system than the majority of the population, which enables them to sense into the subtle energy realms.

Subtle energy is studied in the branch of physics knowns as Metaphysics. 

The word Metaphysics comes to us from Ancient Greece, where it was a combination of two words – Meta, meaning over and beyond – and physics. The combination means over and beyond physics. It is referred to as a branch of philosophy that deals with first cause and the nature of being. It is taught as a branch of philosophy in most academic universities under the label of “Speculative Philosophy.”This branch of physics involves the subtle energy realm and it is a topics which Empaths would benefit in learning about since it will help them understand what they are Sensing into on a daily basis. 
​
As an Empath it is beneficial to understand your senses, your abilities and all the ways they are continuously impacting your day to day life and interactions with every person in your life. 
​
Integrative Coaching and Energy psychology is an invaluable resource for empaths who want to develop their strenghts,and their coping skills in a high-stimulus world while embracing their gifts of intuition, compassion, creativity, and spiritual connection.
​ 
As I work with people who consider themselves empaths we discover their Soul Purpose and the possible blocks their Spirit is experiencing on a spiritual, physical, emotional, or mental level.

Coaching involves helping Empath and Highly Sensitive Persons with: 

• Self purpose
• Self love
• Greater Clarity
• Tools for sensory overload, exhaustion, addictions, and compassion fatigue 
• Effective strategies to stop absorbing stress and physical symptoms from others and protect yourself from dark triad personality individuals through assertive and calm methods.
• How to find the right work that feeds your soul and belly. 
• How to navigate intimate relationships without feeling overwhelmed 
• Setting gentle boundaries
• Guidance for parenting empathic children, and teens. 
• Awakening the empath’s gift of intuition and deepening your spiritual connection to all living beings.
