Highly sensitive people, or empaths, see life through the eyes of compassion and caring. They were born that way. As a result, they carry a tremendous amount of inner light. But they're also the favored prey of "vampires" who feed off empaths' energy and disrupt their lives on every level - physical, emotional, and financial. Christiane Northrup, M.D. explores the phenomenon of energy vampires and show us how we can spot them, dodge their tactics, and take back our own energy. You'll delve into the dynamics of vampire-empath relationships. Once you recognize the patterns of behavior that mark these relationships, you'll be empowered to identify the vampires in your life too. Christiane Northrup, M.D. is a former assistant clinical professor of ob/gyn at the University of Vermont College of Medicine.
