The Empath's Survival Guide | Judith Orloff MD and Barry Kibrick 

Oh, so happy to come upon Barry Kibrick here! When I lived in LA his program was my favorite thing on TV. Subscribe everyone! Barry is always so well prepared and asks great questions and opens up his guests with his welcoming, safe-space graciousness. This is like a reunion for me!

Judith is a Godsend! I just purchased both her books on Amazon. I’ve finally found help for this problem I’ve had my whole life….

Not to overpost but Judith Orloff's books have been such a help to me over the past decade. I was so excited about seeing Barry I got distracted. So, yes, if you are like me and going to a restaurant makes you feel like you are eating at every table in the room (ugh) and every time you talk to someone you feel every flickering moment of doubt or insecurity which might be totally unimportant to them, I highly recommend Dr. Orloff's books. For those saying "I can't change I think that is true. But you certainly can learn to live with your gifts and sensitivities just like the rest of the world manages with their own. Empaths are super people pleasers and Dr. Orloff will help you find your boundaries and be able to work them into your life without hurting anyone (our huge fear in life, right?)

Being an empath I used to shout when I am not heard. What to do Judith when we keep on consistently making the other person understand our needs and still we aren't heard rather ridiculed.💖💖💖

I’m definitely an empath due to my narcissistic mother but I’m a mother now and I take on my son’s disappointments and he same with my daughter, they are both grown and left home, but I so have the need to fix it for them to be happy,so when they hurt ,I hurt , then it causes me anxiety and depression, but I just can’t reason with myself to not feel this way,

Empathetic man here. Thank you for the recognition! 💗💗💗🌈

I'm just learning that I am an empath

What a wonderful interviewer, really appreciate this woman and her teachings, it is what I needed

Although I dislike the term "sensitive" I was drawn to this interview for a reason and listened intently especially when Judith spoke about the child empath. This certainly explains a lot for me...

Barry is such a smart interviewer and the doctor is very wise. Great interview! Thank you.

I have been studying fibromyalgia for 15 years, I was desperate to find out why my life has become one of illness...Everyone I know with fibromyalgia fits somewhere on this Empath level...we absorb negative energies like a sponge! There are ways to protect yourself, perhaps they learn and feel better!

"The power to be empathic in the midst of adversity.." So well put : )

This quality interview brings so much clarity on a very little known psychological condition. Thank you for the hard work of the interviewer and the awesome insights and expertise of Dr. Orloff on the subject. Both are wonderful and this engaging conversation in itself is healing

Such a relief to be heard through this interview

Observe not absorb.....

I recognized a couple of years ago that I could feel others pain, especially emotional pain. I think being an empath is certainly why I was involved with 2 men who were narcissistic and extremely sociopathic. I can sure agree with Dr. Orloff's statement that these predatory types are drawn to people like me, because we are vulnerable. I am one of those "closed now" empathy's now, and it hasn't made me feel any better about my past or my future. I'm going to order the book...I'm a Christian and I hope there isn't to much of eastern mysticism in this book for me! Thanks for this video.

This is the first time that I've heard the term 'Empath' and I am just shocked -completely shocked - that there is a term for "the way I am". I just can't believe that there is a way to make sense of the way my mind works.

this makes so much sense

Thanks for the upload,great interviewing and great guest 👍😊

Too much information coming at once, I am an artist and start to "spin out" and become exhausted from the overload of energy. thank you for this information.

Judith I' ve learned from you...so much!

wow I am so amazed! You are such an amazing interviewer. Best one I have heard in my whole entire life and you mentioned points I thought to myself before.

This interview was very inspiring and enlightening to me. I am and have always been an Empath. Barry, you do the most thoughtful interviews and my husband says you are the most prepared interviewer he has ever seen. Thank you for your professional and caring work.

I have recently been telling myself that I need to develop a thicker skin, sorry can't do it, thank you for explains about this.

This lady is awesome

so true, Doctor has told me not to watch the news. so sad:(

Thank you, so much.

I'm a empath but I also had a traumatic brain injury when I was 13 I'm 56 now . I've tried to not take in all the negative feelings that others are feeling . I walk away from people that I feel it from .but I can't walk away from it at work . I love my job and I don't want to lose it . But my supervisor that just started.... I can feel her energy towards me . And I just can't seem to block all her bad energy she throws at me. What does one do in a situation like this ? I think it's the hardest thing for me to learn being a empath .

Medication, so true, all medication makes me feel ill that is why I use herbs etc...

What is that painting on the wall?!? Painting, I loooooove you.

❤❤

Exactly right, misdiagnosed. Go to ER and they cant find anything? I need this to help manage my life.

I'm an empath, and i don't know to how shield myself, i don't just observe i absorb and i do not know about that there is a survival guide of an empaths but .

Thank you for this heart sharing. My main challenge is that I know and feel ONE with all at all times, thus there is no other...how do you have boundaries when there is no real boundaries in Oneness? And is it that one is absorbing other’s energies or is it just our own reflected in the other as we are ONE and so spiritually there is no other...thank you for sharing your insights 🌹💚🙏✡️ love grace and blessings to all 😇

Do you know of any books to learn about, and teach children, who are Empaths?

Om Sacred Response-ability

💯 me

what about those empaths who can absorb and utilize both Positive and Negative energies, and overcame the disadvantages of being an empaths, and go beyond its limitation.

Ma'am, you better re do your research on empaths, especially on mastered empathic ability that is different from ordinary/normal empaths.

🙋 please this is rubbish
