Contagious Emotions
Drag words into the blanks.
As research has shown, emotions are contagious. And empaths are especially 1 to others' emotional energies. Because they're so attuned to others. They can get easily exhausted in crowds, be drawn into codependent 2, exhaust themselves trying to solve others' problems, or burn out from too much caregiving. Yet empathy is also a gift that brings greater 3 and understanding. Some of the finest therapists, doctors, nurses, professors, writers, designers, musicians, artists and leaders in many have been empaths.
