Thriving as an Empath: 365 Days of Self-Care for Sensitive People

Thriving as an Empath offers 365 days of self-care meditations, reflections, and journaling suggestions designed as daily practices against stress and overwhelm. Dr. Orloff addresses the challenge that highly sensitive and empathic people often give too much at the expense of their own well-being, absorbing the stress of others. Building on principles from The Empath's Survival Guide, this book provides daily self-care tools and support for becoming a compassionate, empowered empath. Topics include setting strong boundaries, protecting your energy, inoculating yourself against stress and overwhelm, self-soothing techniques, understanding that taking on the world's stress is not your responsibility, breaking the momentum of sensory overload, tapping the vitality of seasons and elements, deepening connection with nature's cycles, and moving from clock-based time into sacred time. The book is designed to help you grow and flourish without internalizing the emotions and pain of others, while embracing the gifts of sensitivity including an open heart, intuition, and intimate connection with the natural world.
