The Empath's Survival Guide - Life Strategies for Sensitive People is written by Judith Orloff, MD.
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 further. We actually feel others' emotions, energy and physical symptoms in our own bodies without the usual defences that most people have." The Empath's Survival Guide is an invaluable resource for empaths and anyone who wants to nurture their empathy and develop coping skills in our high-stimulus world--while fully embracing their gifts of intution, compassion, creativity and spiritual connection.
This practical, empowering, and loving book was created to support empaths through their unique challenges and help loved ones better understand the empath's needs and gifts. Dr. Orloff offers crucial practices, including:
- Exercises to help you identify your empath tope and where you are on the empathy spectrum.
- Tools for protecting yourself from sensory overload, exhaustion, addictions, and compassion fatigue while replenishing your vital energy.- Simple, effective strategies to stop absorbing stress and physical symptoms from others and protect yourself from narcissists and other energy vampires.
- How to find the right work that feeds you.
- How to navigate intimate relationships without feeling overwhelmed.
- Guidance for parenting and raising empathetic children.
- Awakening the empath's gift for intuition and deepening your spiritual connection to all living beings.
For any sensitive person who's been told to "grow a thick skin" here is a lifelong guide for staying fully open while building resilience, exploring your gifts of depth and compassion, and feeling welcome and valued by a world that desperately needs what you have to offer.
My Review of The Empath's Survival Guide
Are you an empath? Not sure? This book will give you the tools necessary to not only determine if you are but also deal with the repercussions of being sensitive enough to feel what others do not. As an empath herself, the author lays out what it was like to be a child and not fit. She goes on to discuss the various types of empaths. There are more types of empaths than I imagined and the author has provided a list of questions for each one that will help you identify if you are an empath and what type you might be.
"If you feel as if you don't fit in this world, then you're here to create a better one!"
That quote seems to sum up the direction of this book. Great read for empaths and non-empaths alike.
