The Psychology of Self-Sacrifice Without Boundaries
Omschrijving
Suicidal Empathy explores the silent psychological pattern where compassion becomes self-erasure, and care for others slowly transforms into emotional depletion. It examines the hidden cost of over-identifying with other people’s pain, where empathy stops being a strength and begins to function as a form of self-neglect.
Through a deep psychological lens, this work unpacks how individuals, often sensitive, responsible, and emotionally intelligent, can become trapped in cycles of overgiving, guilt-driven obligation, and internalized suffering. It reveals how blurred emotional boundaries can lead to burnout, identity loss, chronic stress, and a gradual disconnection from personal needs.
Rather than treating empathy as a flaw, the book reframes it as a powerful human capacity that requires structure, awareness, and emotional discipline. It investigates the difference between healthy compassion and destructive absorption, offering clarity on why some people unconsciously prioritize others’ survival, stability, or comfort at the expense of their own well-being.
