The first of these is Ora North’s authorial voice. Rich and poetic, it’s simply a delight to read – even when the topics turn toward something heavier.

It feels less like reading solo and more like an ongoing conversation with a mentor, creating the perfect tone for those who need that guiding hand. It’s difficult to put the book down once you’ve started reading it!

So, let’s get started. Here are 8 things I find most difficult about being an empath. The difficulties Loved the last three chapters, may not seem to be groovy if I'd just read through. Since I accepted my status and worked through the exercises the lethargic, lazy, pessimistic approach to my own well-being is going..gone. In this refreshingly honest guide, shamanic practitioner Ora North offers practical exercises to help you navigate your intuition and empathic sensitivities, create much-needed boundaries, and build confidence. You'll also learn to balance your emotions and energy, and harness the strength of your shadow side to embrace your whole self and live your best life.Do you feel allthe feels— allthe time? Are you fed up with the mainstream spiritual “love and light” scene that calls for constant positivity, even in the face of true loss, trauma, and pain? If so, this book is for you. That’s when compassion can become a burden. It’s just not possible to help everybody, and that’s a hard thing to deal with every single day. 7) Being used for empathy At that point, it becomes so much easier to manage the constant flow of emotions that bombard your senses day in and day out as an empath.

Being empathic gives you an extraordinary connection with others. Having a strong sense of your own emotions, keeping rigid boundaries, and maintaining the ability to care for your own emotional health will equip you to mitigate the downsides. But it doesn’t always have to be like that. Just because we can take other people’s emotions on doesn’t mean we have to keep them. This book is written in an intimate and direct way. Ora North is talking to you, the reader directly, and when that reader is I, she hits the mark pretty well. She gets what it's like to feel All The Feelings. She gets what it's like to run into the New Age spirituality that aims for truth but misses experience. She gets what it's like to be tired from the general difficulty of living in a challenging world. As someone who only had a very basic and pop-culture-informed understanding of what being an empath entailed, this book really opened my eyes to the inner potential of empaths and how our lives can naturally stifle these gifts. There are a few components to I Don’t Want to Be an Empath Anymore that make it the perfect guidebook for anyone struggling with this topic and those who are not empaths but seek to understand the struggles of those they love.

Reaching Catharsis

Keep your body healthy and clear of negative energy. Yoga, meditation, personal care, and more will keep you relaxed and cleansed. I Don't Want to Be an Empath Anymore is a gift for the jaded empath searching for authenticity in spirituality, and spirituality in being authentic--something beyond the clichéd, positive affirmations that seem to invalidate our anger, sadness, and pain. When we feel broken--and when real damage has been done, it's not always helpful to ignore our feelings and tell ourselves that we are perfect and whole. We tend to think as empaths that maybe we already know everything about how a person feels. But if you ask them about it, you might find yourself surprised. That leaves you tired, worn out, and almost always exhausted. Sleep is hardly a factor for this kind of weariness. Ora North brings a raw and powerful look at the reality of being an empath. It’s not always glitter and unicorns; we must take a long, hard look at the wounds and shadows we hold; we must get real to heal. Ora skillfully guides us through this process so we can take off the spiritual mask and claim our true power as empaths.”

As an empath, you know just how fiercely you feel everything. Not only do you feel things that happen to you specifically, but you also feel everyone else’s emotions, too. If you’re bored in your career, here’s a bunch of great jobs where empaths can use their gifts well. 6) Compassion becomes a burden I Don't Want to Be an Empath Anymore: How to Reclaim Your Power Over Emotional Overload, Maintain Boundaries, and Live Your Best Life csv They know when people say one thing and mean another. This makes for interesting relationships, breakups and more. 7) They Hate Posers There’s nothing wrong with finding an escape from our day to day troubles (what else would you call relaxing?) But abusing addictive substances to avoid facing problems, or avoid dealing with emotions in a healthy way, will be destructive. Both in the long term and the short.

The difficulties

The problem is that you, one person, can’t help everyone. An empath can feel the pain of every person they meet in their life, but they can’t help them all. Even if they want to. As an empath, you bring their pain into your body and feel it intimately. It’s hard to shut off, and impossible to turn off completely.

Your coworkers and superiors probably won’t understand why. Your boss will demand that you work harder–or be happier–or get better at interacting with the customers. If you can’t, you’re likely to be fired. While I don’t always sleep the best, I do get regular, healthy sleep most of the time. It doesn’t help me from being tired.

It is sweetly ironic what this piece of work represents: a charitable, empathetic donation for the good of others. One that has clearly taken a long time, and a lot of processing; difficult processes at that.
