Welcome to The Universal Empath 101

The TUE101 website was originally created in 1998 by Christel Broederlow, the author of 'The Empath Reports 101' to educate empaths and the public about empathy and to serve as a resource for all interested. This website is “universal” in that it encourages and respects all beliefs, understandings and knowledge about empaths and empathy. It serves as a hub of information to help promote understanding and appreciation towards this widely misunderstood ability.

Let us start by defining empathy...

Empathy: n. 1. The ability to sense and/or understand emotion(s) from another person, animal, inanimate objects incorporating stimulation to any and or all of the senses (including the 6th Sense) without verbally being told and/or without obvious visual clues. 2. The ability to be sensitive and receptive to outside emotional stimuli. - adj. empathic or empathetic., v. to empathize

Empath: n. 1. A person who has the ability to experience empathy towards another person, and/or animate/inanimate objects, in part or from all of the above definition. 2. A person who is sensitive to the emotions in others.

Fantasy or Fiction? TV and Cinema first introduced the term empath through the character Spock from Star Trek, and in recent years numerous TV series of gifted people touting incredible psychic abilities such as the highly successful Ghost Whisperer starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Charmed, Supernatural and the Medium made being an empath a cool thing to be, like the latest fashion trend.  What once was considered as more fantasy-like in origin, science has long studied the affects of empathy, most especially from a psychological perspective, yet for others empathy is a way of life, of being, of existence and occurs as naturally as breathing and has been around as long as man-kind has walked this earth, certainly no overnight fad for the reality often is far from glamorous.

Addictions in Empaths

Addictions in Empaths are not as uncommon as one may initially think. With the bombardment of felt, received emotions and thoughts (telempath), an addiction can be a source of focus.   In other words, empaths may use addictive substances to take the ‘edge’ off.

Whether it is food, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, chemical, clothing, or cars -- it is a source of focus into which empaths can release their energy.   While some may call this, ‘giving one’s energy away’, with empaths, there may be a better choice of words to describe what it entails.

Generally, addictions start as a conscious act through choice, and eventually, (dependent on the type of substance) become an unconscious act, with a sense of a lack of choice.
