Dr. Judith Orloff visits Google to discuss her book, “The Empath’s
Survival Guide.” The book teaches readers how sensitive people can
thrive in an insensitive world.
What is the difference between having empathy and being an empath?
“Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy
or pain,” says Dr. Judith Orloff, “but for empaths it goes much
farther. We actually feel others’ emotions, energy, and physical
symptoms in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most
people have.” With The Empath’s Survival Guide, Dr. Orloff offers
an invaluable resource to help sensitive people develop healthy
coping mechanisms in our high-stimulus world—while fully embracing
the empath’s gifts of intuition, creativity, and spiritual
connection.
In this practical and empowering book for empaths and their loved
ones, Dr. Orloff begins with self-assessment exercises to help you
understand your empathic nature, then offers potent strategies for
protecting yourself from feeling overwhelmed and replenishing your
vital energy. For any sensitive person who’s been told to “grow a
thick skin,” here is your lifelong guide for staying fully open
while building resilience, exploring your gifts of deep perception,
raising empathic children, and feeling welcomed and valued by a
world that desperately needs what you have to offer.
