is this really for me?
The etymology of the word empath is derived from the Greek word emp'atheia, meaning, en = in + p'athos = feeling.
Empathy then isn't merely a relation to a person, place, or thing but encompasses more. It is the bond formed of intuitive feelings and impressions. An empath is doubly blessed & burdened by the ability to form a bond, made up purely of feelings with another person, place, or thing.
That's a whole bunch more complex! for someone like me - who's already too sensitive & emotional - what a challenge this is to my clarity & balance!
