I am an empath [Pre-blog]

This is a short piece I wrote a few years back with a group whose involvement I ceased with recently.

I have the highly developed ability to detect and feel what it is others are feeling even when it's not said. From that I often respond.
Some might say it's a mixed blessing and feeling others pain isn't nice but I find being an Empath useful professionally as it gets me to the heart of the matter the person needs help with.
