Have you been labeled oversensitive? Are you drained by crowds? Do you startle easily? Then you might be an empath! In this week’s episode, the hosts continue their conversation about emotional labor by looking more closely at how being an empath might impact that labor and increase the exhaustion caused by it. They relate it to the broader notion of empathy and its relationship to social justice. The hosts end the discussion by responding to twenty empath questionnaire questions and considering the usefulness of the concept. For anyone interested, the questionnaire can be found here:
