Come Home to Your Sensitive Self.
TEDx Speaker Andy Mort calls The Empath’s Journey “a fascinating insight into the life of a highly sensitive person and emotional empath.”
The Empath’s Journey combines personal stories from my own life as a highly sensitive person with practical tools I have discovered in my journey. I talk about my experiments with learning about how to set better boundaries, how to protect and validate my sensitive soul, and how to strengthen my own inner voice that seemed to get easily swamped by sensing and feeling other people’s feelings.
Set during the first few years after I relocated from India to the United States in 2012, The Empath’s Journey takes you on an inner journey to rediscover your sensitive soul.
This was an intense period in my life when I was redefining my relationship with those terrible words I had often heard as a child — “too sensitive.” I was unearthing the gifts of my sensitivity and learning to channel the overwhelming feelings that came with it and that often felt like a curse.
My hope is that my own journey will serve as a believing mirror for your sensitive self and provide you with some clues to call your lost and numbed parts back home.
You, as much as anyone else in your life, deserve your own love.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
“The Empath’s Journey is essential reading for anyone struggling with being an empath or seeking support as a Highly Sensitive Person. If you have ever felt misunderstood as an intuitive, this is the book for you. It’s a powerful key to unlocking the enigma of the empath and helping unearth our gifts as well as our purpose here.”
Lauren Sapala, author of The INFJ Writer.
“Empaths have an intimate experience with the world around them which is hard to describe and even harder to write about. Ritu masterfully takes other empaths on her inner and outer journey from self-discovery to self-mastery. She journeys across cultures, archetypes, and psychological challenges to claim the gifts of being a highly sensitive person and an empath. This is an inspirational book for other empaths seeking their journey to self-mastery. Highly recommended!”
Maria Hill, Founder, Sensitive Evolution and author of The Emerging Sensitive.
“The Empath’s Journey is a fascinating insight into the life of a highly sensitive person and emotional empath (someone who feels what others feel). Ritu gives us a perfect foundation for really important parts of living life with these unique gifts: pointers on how to set boundaries when you absorb other people’s feelings as well as how to prevent overwhelm when you seem to notice every little detail. This book is both inspiring and practical. Jam-packed with an abundance of accessible tools, synthesized from prominent figures like Carl Jung, Erich Fromm, Claude Steiner, and others, to help HSPs and empathic people not only survive, but truly thrive in this world of ours.”
Andy Mort, TEDx Speaker, Musician, Creator of The Gentle Rebel Podcast.
I hope The Empath’s Journey will give you some missing pieces of your own puzzle and be a source of nourishment in your journey as a sensitive person.
With love,
Ritu
