Dr. Judith Orloff is interviewed on KATU TV AM Northwest Portland discussing the ways empathy can help to heal yourself and your relationships from her book "The Genius of Empathy." www.DrJudithOrloff.com
While a dictionary can give you the definition of empathy, Dr. Judith Orloff conceptualizes empathy that is both simple to grasp and applicable to your daily life. I listened to her audiobook several times, putting into practice how to engage with others, has help me connect with others on a deeper level. Empathy is feeling WITH others and understanding another person’s perspective without losing your own. Thank you Dr. Orloff for harnessing the genius of being empathic. She makes it clear that caring for oneself doesn't have to be sacrificed for caring others.
The thing about people who are angry at everything, there is usually an underlying issue they are not dealing with, so something is wrong with EVERYTHING rather than the confronting the specific issue, an issue that may hurt to much to deal with or a person who they feel they can not confront.
