What is the difference between having empathy and being an empath? Having empathy means feeling compassion for another person’s joy or pain. But for empaths it’s much deeper. You actually feel others’ emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in your own body, without the usual personal boundaries that most people have.
Moderated by popular Cayce expert, psychotherapist and hypnotherapist Peter Woodbury, MSW
“For being a ‘sensitive’ and capable of the interpretations of the emotions of others is not easy…” Edgar Cayce reading 1406-1
