Healing Empathy Fatigue: A Self-Care Journey for the Soul

About the Book A new generation of Empaths has emerged who are ordinary and extraordinary people who are highly sensitive to others' emotions, thoughts, and experiences. However, there is a cost to being empathic with others. Healing Empathy Fatigue is an invitation for you to take a self-care journey for your soul. This book is developed for everyday people with the intention to identify, recognize, prevent, and decrease the experience of empathy fatigue and cultivate empathy resilience.
