Empaths are highly sensitive and feel other people's energies and emotions as if they were their own.

Uniquely intuitive and hyper-perceptive, empaths are also more sensitive to collective energy, the energy of spaces, and, in some cases, even physical stimuli like noise. Interacting with the world so intimately is a blessing, yet it also means your relationship strategies as an empath—not just regarding romantic love, but in all areas—must be navigated thoughtfully.

Romantic partners, friends, coworkers, and family members all present opportunities for uncommonly close connections, though empaths might fall into rescuing, codependency, or people-pleasing as unhealthy relationship coping skills.

Instead, learn to:

* More mindfully choose between feeling with others or staying in your own energy and emotions.

* Support loved ones from a place of healthy detachment and discernment.

* Be more assertive about getting your needs and desires met.

* Protect and nourish your sensitive system.

* Understand and maximize your intuition.

* Nurture your relationships to create more healing intimacy.

* Engage with collective energy in an empowered way to be of service and live with more purpose.
