It’s very common for new Empath to have high levels of anxiety. Actually, I have often seen Empaths who have lived all their lives with anxiety/fear but they just figured that’s how life was supposed to be, so they just bear with it.
Empath can experience a weird sort of diffused fear (meaning it’s not related to something specific either because:
1) They are picking up the fear of the people around them. Fear is VERY common and you are likely exposed to other people’s fear on a daily basis. It’s VERY important to practice the techniques in the Empath Survival Program so you can separate what is yours and what is theirs.
2) Empath can experience the core fear of being “overwhelmed” or getting “lost” in the wave of emotions they pick up from other people. This can feel like you are loosing your identity. This particular fear is common in Empath who have just realized what is going on and are getting struck by the sheer magnitude of it. Here, you just need to take your time and rediscover who *YOU* are. For example, what do you like? Taking a bath? Chocolate? The beach? The more you can focus on the things that make you you, the less you will be affected by this fear
