empath: self discovery, coping strategies and survival techniques for highly sensitive people (connect to your spirit guides w

I know I will be reading this book over and over again. It affirms and validates who I am, after years of wondering why big, busy places make me dizzy and sick, why I am exhausted after being around too many people, why I feel every pain and joy so intensely, why people I've never met unload all of their life history and problems on me while waiting in line at the store, why I have to retreat into a quiet space to re-energize. I started the book last night, and already sense a bright shining light beaming over me. The strategies for handling the challenges of feeling and absorbing so much stimuli and energy are so simple, but never could I have imagined them on my own. I have tools now and I am relieved, joyful and grateful to have found this book.
