Sharing the Burden: The Gifting of Highly Sensitive Burden Bearers

An estimated fifth of the earth’s population are people with the gift of extreme empathy—highly sensitive burden bearers. Often they are misunderstood, not only by the majority in cultures used to praising the go-getter, but by themselves.

Highly sensitive burden bearers are in danger from self-pity, burnout, resentment, and lack of self-esteem, and they desperately need to learn when and how to protect themselves from the emotions their nervous systems don't automatically screen out. They often need healing for the many hurts that are related to their gifting. They also need to be understood and, first of all, to understand themselves.

This book contains information, empathy, tips, and prayers that can make an immense difference in how you see yourself and interact with others.

John Sandford, the founder of Elijah House, said this was the best book on this subject he had read. (Paperback, 152 pages)
