12 Empath Overwhelm Triggers

As defined by the Cambridge Dictionary, an empath is ‘a person who has an unusually strong ability to feel other people's emotional or mental states.’

This has a lot of benefits. However, it can be a struggle to navigate the world as an empath. One of the most important lessons is to know that not everyone has this level of intuition when it comes to how others think and feel. When empaths realise this truth, it can be quite empowering. Some people just don’t have the capacity to think and feel the way you do, and that is OK.

Serving others is a life source for an empath. This is why their energy is really important, as energy is given freely. Sometimes, it’s given too freely. Because of this, empaths can get overwhelmed quite quickly, and replenishing energy levels isn’t as important as being able to serve others. Thus, depleting energy levels further.
