What’s the Difference Between an Highly Sensitive Person and an Empath?

In this episode of the Cosmic Tea Podcast I break down EXACTLY what the difference is between a highly sensitive person (HSP) and an empath.

HSPs are born with the SERT gene that gives them the ability to process information deeply. This is part of our brain chemistry and is not something we can change. This is a beautiful way to experience the world and also makes us susceptible to overstimulation.

Empaths tend to have experienced childhood trauma that forced them to become more sensitive to the energies of the people around them. Once this necessity to read energy has been activated, it allows us to run energy to and through us like a radio receiver. Empaths can pick up the energetic channel of places, people, plants, animals and so much more.

Have a listen and let me know which trait you feel most connected to, or if like me you are both!

In this episode I share two books that I recommend every highly sensitive person reads:

The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You

by Elaine N. Aron 

Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World

by Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo
