Empath Up!: How to Embrace the Gift of Empathy

Written by Cheryl Hutchinson

Narrated by Jenny Kelly

If you’re someone who feels empathy at an intense level, it can be difficult to navigate the world. You may feel others don’t understand you, or you may feel that the weight of others’ negative emotions is simply too much to bear. Maybe others accuse you of being “too sensitive.” Sound familiar?
In Empath Up!: How to Embrace the Gift of Empathy, an audio course from Scribd Coach, psychologist Cheryl Hutchinson argues that there’s simply no such thing as “too sensitive.” In this course, Hutchinson argues that there is power empathy — that, contrary to the narrative of “too sensitive,” sensitivity could be our greatest strength. Using a scientific, evidence-based approach, Hutchinson explains why being sensitive is actually a good thing, how to identify and manage taking on someone else’s emotional energy, how to increase positive emotions in your own life, and how to protect your emotions as an empath. She also shares exercises along the way so you can begin putting what you’ve learned into practice right away.
No one is “too sensitive” — but they may not know just how strong their sensitivity makes them. In Empath Up!, Cheryl Hutchinson aims to light the way.

Reviews for Empath Up!

[Jerry Weis · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

At times, some of the material felt a little repetitive, and there was something funky with the recording volume, but overall some good tips. I particularly like the mantra “observe, don’t absorb.” as well as the hacks in the last chapter.

Great tips and I liked how she recapped everything because I can be spaced out when I listen to a book
