Summary

Highly sensitive people - or empaths - see life through the eyes of compassion and caring. They were born that way. As a result, they carry a tremendous amount of inner light. But they’re also the favored prey of “vampires” who feed off empaths’ energy and disrupt their lives on every level - physical, emotional, and financial.

In Dodging Energy Vampires, Christiane Northrup, MD, draws on the latest research in this exciting new field, along with stories from her global community and her own life, to explore the phenomenon of energy vampires and show us how we can spot them, dodge their tactics, and take back our own energy. You’ll delve into the dynamics of vampire-empath relationships and discover how vampires use others’ energy to fuel their own dysfunctional lives. Once you recognize the patterns of behavior that mark these relationships, you’ll be empowered to identify the vampires in your life too.

In this audiobook, Dr. Northrup opens up a toolbox full of techniques you can use to leave these harmful relationships behind; heal from the darkness they’ve cast over your mind, body, and spirit; and let your own light shine. In the end, you may find yourself healthier, happier, wealthier, and more vibrant than you ever believed possible.

Essential reading for empaths and HSPs

At the ripe old age of 40, life is now starting to make sense. This is like reading my life story. I always felt “different”. Always taking on others feelings and feeling the grief/sadness/shame for the collective. All of which very tricky to articulate until reading this book. I also have a long history with personality disordered people. This lead to adverse mental and physical health problems.

Thank you Dr Christiane Northrup for your gift. I am indeed ready to shine my light 🙏🏼

Loved it.

Brilliant and full of information. Re listened to over and over as there is a lot of advice and it's hard to take in all of the guidance at once. All of the information is spot on.

thank you

I loved this book. Was in a relationship with an energy vampire for the past 5 years. whenever I was angry for being used and abused, i came down hard on myself for my lack of compassion because I knew my ex partner struggle through a difficult childhood. this book, along with many material that have come into my life since, has validated my healing. deep gratitude Dr northup!

Fantastic information

I wish I had found this book years ago. It would have saved me a lot of heart ache. If you keep getting into relationships and friendships that suck the life out of you then leave you damaged, this explains why! I knew I was an empath but never knew this is why I keep letting people take advantage of me. I have listened through three times already and will do so again! I’d love to talk to the author in person! I’d ask her how do I cope with competing my horse when I go to shows and everyone is nervous and I can pick it up like a sponge. Off to find more books by this author now!

When the students ready the teacher will come

I was so ready to learn the lesson that I have not been chosen but I have been targeted and that the emotional vampires will continue to be drawn to me ..it’s not my bad choices in people it’s just I have what they so badly need ...empathy and care. So now I just have to practice taking better care of myself when they do rather than spend years trying to figure out how to change them. This book will help anyone who attracts lost souls to understand why and how to protect yourself as you stay yourself !
