Judith believes that empaths will be the saviors of our world. She wants to make being an empath a joy. This is a noble mission. May all beings learn to extend mercy and forgiveness to ourselves and others. 🙏
I almost weeping right now. I woke once again at 2:30 am wracked with anxiety but felt a leading to investigate being an empath which I have long known deep down. As a child being the only emotional adult and comforting my parents after a fight as a 5 year old. Adukt friends of my mother used to tell me intimate details of their marriages as a young girl, way TMI. My mother noticed it it flattened me. A malignant narcissistic mother, married to a physically, mentally and emotionally abusive man I stayed in that over 30 years and I got out by the skin of my teeth and barely alive not sure I wanted to be alive. I'm 63 years old and starting over. I cannot tell you what a blessing this has been to me.
I believe the core issue with the empath is that we feel responsible for the well being of the people around us. " I feel what you feel and its terrible. I don't want you to feel this way and I don't want to feel this way around you. What can I do to make you feel better?" After all, if they are well, we feel well. This is why we might be people pleasers. But we really should quit fixing people. I really have to hold myself not to engage myself in to others just because I sense they are not ok. Especially when they are energy vampires and don't want to be fixed.
Hearing Judith O. talk about her own life, makes me feel I'm not alone, I'm not the only one on earth with these needs. It helps me embrace it with joy.
It was last year that I met a Shaman who began to teach me about being an Empath. I’m so happy cause I just figured I was the “strange” one and the outcast. I never fit in. I remember as a child when I’d read about someone’s hurt or broken body part. That part on my body would completely go numb. Still does lol. I’ve been so heavy and exhausted most of my life and never knew I was carrying bodies, as my Shaman called it. He taught me about transmuting energy. I’m so glad I found this lady and I’ve ordered her book. We Empaths are so darn special ❤
I'm 40yrs old and struggling with depression..today I learned I'm an introverted empath and in the blind of an eye life makes sense. This information needs to disseminated worldwide.
Love this.... just now discovering in my 40s I'm an empath and HSP....have suffered so much thinking something was wrong with me....it feels so nice to know that there is nothing "wrong" with me.
Just found out myself I am not crazy. I kept asking myself why I did what I did. I couldn't stop helping people and animals, at great stress to myself. I would question my motives, continually. And then I found Dr. Orloff, and feel free, like the weight is gone. I know what you mean, how lucky are we?
I’ve been going through a lot of healing as an empath. For probably about the last 15 years I’ve tried to figure out “what is wrong with me” because, I am not only an empath, but other things as well. I think back to my childhood & just knowing stuff about adults & feeling people who were supposed to love me, didn’t, was extremely overwhelming. This has been so great to listen to. I’ve been a mom to animals that have literally found me. It’s an amazing gift. The healing from a high number of narcissists in my family, has been the most enlightening, as well as trying. Thank you for this. I’m looking for your book now.
This helped me a lot. I recently figured out I am an empath. I have been and knew since a small child. I too was on my own with it, and had no name for it. With emotionally damaged parents who had no patience for sensitivity. You have no idea how this has effected my life. As a child it was terrible! As an adult I am finding out how amazing it can be. Thank u.
@Tami Simon has the most relaxing voice I have ever heard. I feel so centered and calm listening to her. Great host, excellent interview. The meditation at the end is PERFECT. 🤟
Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don’t try to figure anything out. Don’t try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.
Great try to tell that to a burnt out super empathic nurse trying to return to some level of work when continuously being burdened by human suffering 😢😅
The Good Life me to at 61 just the other day was learning about NARCISSISTIC people because I couldn't understand why they was acting like they was about empath can up was me all the way I understand so much about what been and what going on with my life now thank God for showing me what been going on in my life
OMG During the end with that meditation I was holding my heart and just started to cry so much. I had two faucets coming from my eyes. I have been slowly opening up and learning about myself and about being an intuitive empath.
I couldn't do the meditation at the end as I was crying so much at the recognition of my life of being an empath. It gives answers to so much of my suffering and hopefully now I can learn to heal all the wounds I carry through new understanding. Thank you for this. With love.
I was walking one evening with my froend and i saw the full moon in all of its glory so I said to my friend: Oh look at the moon! She said nothing. Me, thinking she didn't hear me said again: look at that MOON! She looked at like she didn't recognize me. And that's how empaths are trapped thinking there something wrong with me. 🙂 I just love being an empath, life is beautiful!
Tammy, you have given the best interview I have ever heard. Your questions were spot on, you did not interrupt and I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I also of course learned a lot Judith is fantastic and so are you. Thank you
Thank you both for this teaching. Very helpful and insightful. Thought I was loosing my mind. Now I see it is mere empathy on a deep level. Found walking on the beach with shoes off really helped. Actually all that helped. Also allergic reaction to any and all antidepressants. Dancing really allows me to escape to some extend. Not always able to dance in the middle of nowhere. But will be able to breathe like you have taught.
Thank you for this. Many of us realize we are empathic & have trouble dealing, much less knowing how to use this power for good. Too many see it as a weakness in ourselves & others. This is all so helpful and needed. These words speak to my heart. 💜
the other thing that helps Empathics is MUSIC, music and more music. Its so healing and you can get lost in it. I sang and performed years past and always can revisit that part of me. Play and Instrument or Sing out loud for the angels to hear you !! Your gifted, just learn to Channel things, its beautiful !
No wonder i listening to Enigma , meditate infront of the river , love losing my self within my own world , caring about others ,can read people and studying holistic medicine and all this time i didnt even know ,there is a name for this kinds of people , Empath ...so thats me ,aha ! Thank you . It took me 48 yrs to find that name . Greetings from Australia 😘😘😘
I order this book today. I have been listening to all of Judith’s work. I can’t remember not being an Empath… I am now 58. I have my own tools to navigate With this gift. I am thankful to find more tools to embrace this gift as well as to handle myself gracefully
Am I under curse? All people who are around me are narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths... Where to find unconditionally supportive real friends with healthy positive energy?
Bobby Macgee Being an Empath can feel like a curse if you aren’t aware of your gift. Learn all you can about your gift and develop a consistent regimen of self care. Blessings to you!
Yes empaths tend to attract narcissists - it's our natural inclination to heal the wounded . And only empaths listen to narcissists, cause narcissists repel each other
I felt like I was cursed too. I’ve learned that as an empath we need to heal our own wounds. If we don’t, then energetically we continually attract people of low vibrations. Heal yourself and set boundaries. This is something that I am just barely learning myself.
Just a bit of advice check to make sure you're not a psychopath or sociopath. Common team with psychopaths and sociopaths is that dating everyone's a psychopath or sociopath.
I learned a long time ago that some people are vile, discriminatory, or hateful. I knew from that one person that I needed to protect my heart. I turned from him and walked away. That moment was my lesson, which I learned very well. (49 of 60 yes) I do enjoy cutting through the crap.
I lost many things because of not knowing my Empath and highly sensitive man I had bad relationships with my father with my wife with my work as open office dealing with many people I also had problem with my school being in many students in a class since I was six now I am in my thirties i had all in my life Anxiety,Depression,panic attack, too much fatigue , lack of energy, lack of confidence, overwhelming and overstimulating. thanks Dr. Judith Orloff
I’m so glad I found this interview. Judith Orloff , I love you. I am earth , animal, plant, tree and people Empath. When I was 8yrs old , while waiting for the city bus with my mother, I asked her ; what will happen to us ,if the bus crashes in accident ? She yelled at me saying “ why did you speak those words “ 15min later the bus arrives, the bus gets packed with passengers ( It was a 1 stop direction using the highway to the next town ). Within 10minutes the bus drivers tells everyone to hold on , the brakes where not working. So ya, the Bus craches in the ditch , everyone go flying to the front, no death , however everyone was cut, bruised , some with broken arms or leg, AND I HAD NOTHING. I walked out without a scratch. My mother was injured lightly. We even made the Cover newspaper the next day ( i still have a copy ) I have had so so so many events in my life we’re I felt Information from anything in my field of energy, and speak the invisible into existence. I often have had friends witness my doing in public , and they slowly stopped talking to me. But now I know what all this is. Being an Empath , Awake , highly intuitive , I’m learning more and specially REMEMBERING WHO I AM. THANK YOU Judith. 😘💫 Great Job TAMI SIMON 😘💫
Thaaaaank u Judith 4 having a A personal relationship with your empathetic self n sharing it to help others. As far back as i can remember, it's been me. I was an emotional,weepy, depressed child Very truthful 2 a fault. I went 2 a therapist when I was 6..... schoool!!!, oh no! It was a disaster. So drained. All my senses were overload. I had learning disibilitiies, problems at home with narsistic parents n 1 sibling. The only peace I had in my life was 2 n from school where I communes with nature. Watching ants n bumble bees, smelling lilacs, . It restored me. I was labeled a slow learner, dyslexic, dreamer, maybe autistic. Always a label never a cure. I always was saving wounded animals, n dreamed of being Heidi n living in the Swiss alps!! Im so glad to have some reference point in your insight. I always kinda lost, not fitting in. N people like pastors, thought that I was embellishing, over emotional exaggerating. I've had a life time of frustration. People not relating with me.. on my own I had coping skills. I had 2.let go of feeling others pain. So much. Realized that toxic people were a drag , in that I was always used by them n I had 2 day good by 2 some people. I didn't no that these people needed the door, it was just timing or so I thought. I'm a lot freer now. Empath really fits. Now I no why I found a relationship with the God of Abtaham, Isaac, n Jacob at the age of 7!! Thank u again.
I was just an alien I always felt since my childhood liked to be in my own world knowing nothing about the world. I was very sensitive feeling everything in extreme and going through all the confusions and was taken advantage by people. I used to not only feel but would start living the life of others especially the very near one's and it was a great confusion to me. I wasn't able to think about myself. I couldn't est meat just at the thought of the cruelities they have to go through. People used to make fun of me and laugh at me. Thanks to the Universe and Dr. Judith who helped me to find a meaning to my life. 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
THANK YOU, the last question is what I have been struggling with. I did the three minute meditation as I sat at work, it did help. I thank you once again!!!
As an empathic highly sensative person HSP, I had to by develop decompression & detox skills from the world around me YOGA& MEDITATION &SWIMMING, Being in nature, ALL Rebalance Inner Calm give me Srength to BE who I am. I have most of all the Empathic Signs, except not easy to crying, as I have become stronger and more tolerant in our world and towards all people. I have a healing career, I do best when I'm helping others learn about health and wellness. I struggle l most in close relationships where I need the private downtime space > this is where it becomes the most Challenging having your partner understand your needs: and not become drained and overwhelemed in a personal relationship. I have to GO TO my own space for total quiet solitude and my partner must learn to understand my need for that or it doesn't work.
I’ve been employed in a substance abuse center for the past 5 years and I can attest to her theory about Empaths and HSP’s struggling with addictions of all types. Many Empaths/ HSP’s work in the field as well, helping struggling addicts. It’s been a struggle being an Empath myself dealing with all of the emotions/ problems of the patients but it is rewarding. I’ve most definitely made self care a consistent part of my day to day life as compassion burnout is common.
The VA should have DR's like you. The psychiatrist I saw said oh maybe you're just stressed and antidepressants didn't help, and was told I didn't really need them. But I needed something, and I'm not sure if they are even aware of it.
I so resonate with you Judith! Nature, animals and am totally absorbed into the Universe of the sky. Thank you! It’s so hard to live in the world by not of it.
Thank YouI am Seeing Me for the 1st Time as an An Empath.... So Many Years Living Like What You Have Said And I Grateful Yet So Sad for Hurting my Own Self for So Darn Long.... I’m Old and Feel Maybe I wouldn’t have Hurt Me For Too LONG ... Momi Greene Kona Hawaii
Momi Greene God bless you. Guide and protect you always. Every struggle and challenge is always worth the lesson and essence of that experience. God is our Father 😘 he disciplines us all to teach us as a parent would their child. 💖
I'm 36 and I took me this long to realize I'm not crazy but I did so much damage drug alcohol addiction gambling then pscych meds ty for all you tubers and all else ty
I'm discovering this at 60 very quickly. Today has been alittle hard. I'm not sure what was going on completely but there was some energy that was around. That it was a heavy energy. And it affected me and pulled me down.
Ok.i just recently just spiritually evolved from a self abusing very maddening.come to find out im an extremely rare empath with some advanced soul on this time on earth.i just want to say i love everyone of you and im very excited to meet n talk to some of you n learn some of your stories.....im also ready to learn n teach.......lokking forward to speaking to yall....
Thank you so much! I’m also an empath and we do attract narcissistic people.. finally someone I can relate to. I can take on peoples emotions sooo much.
joseffben, God I'm so sorry!!! Please realize that you are a Special Breed. You are Unique. What helps me is to find the different little things that I love or even like about myself and incorporate them into my day as often as possible. Even to the point of standing in the mirror daily and telling me, "I love You"..........
joseffben I was raised by a malignant narcissistic mother to be married to a malignant narcissistic man, both are physically, emotionally and mentally abusive. I am 63 years old and finally free of my ex husband and managing to detatch from my 88 year old mother who still is able to flatten me with just her presence. This is huge for me.
Thanks for the talk. I am an extravert Empath. I believe there is a specific area in Sales where extravert Empaths are good at: complex solutions selling in the enterprise world. Intuition, creativity and empathy are fantastic accelerators. However, a safe and open work environment with a lot of freedom and respect of Empaths’s needs is required to succeed and not to finished exhausted. That’s the main challenge for me, not the complex solutions selling role where I am feeling very well.
Im an empath ( born empath) it has been a huge struggle, ive referred to it many times as being a tortured soul....your vidio discussion has been good to listen to
I feel my left hand is aching really bad and I look at it and shake it and squeeze it then realize my hand actually doesn't hurt but I feel as if my brain tells me it really hurts and as I wonder why I feel this way I notice that the person next to me has swollen left hand and I can see on his face he is in pain so I decided to help him. I'm driving and feeling so tired and low and as I pass along an old tree beside the road I feel as if its shade has invisible light that rays on me and calms me. I can imagine myself on other's shoes, absorb their body language, speech pattern, mannerism, know how it is to be like them, learn and understand their personality pattern, and predict their next action. I can do it simply by just looking at your picture, drawing, handwriting, etc. Extreme negative emotions are like loud noise and bright lights that irritate me. Only true empaths would know.
I am a Highly Sensitive Empath, and are on a number of medications. I do have intuition, which I use for reading Tarot for my clients. I realize that if I have a negative person come for a card reading, I simply cannot read for the client. My body and intuition shuts down.
All People ... Yes as Judith says are all Vulnerable for These Empathic Feelings..... But. Only Some have these Feelings and Must Deal With Them whether they recognize early on or after 3/4 of my Life has Past. I have to Stop Taking On Others Problems. I am a Great ENABLER and I Suffer for it and I Must Stop.....I Raised 7 Children Only 3 Were my responsibility but as Children I Could Not- Not Love Them as Mine 🙏🏽❤️🌞
I don’t take on people’s pain and emotions after being with them, but I do get drained from social events and I often can sense when people have tension in the room but then at times I don’t think I sense it at all. But my emotions do change and reflect others behaviours (I can go from happy to down just like that). Am I an empath or just a sensitive person? I am also too honest and open to almost every one even when I don’t know / haven’t figured them out yet and will still be open towards them even once I’ve figured it what they’re like as if I don’t care and am willing to take the risk. Am I an empath or just a sensitive person?
Ohhh! I have this weird feelings for certain people and used to think why I feel like that. I have always worried about that feeling and searched for reasons a lot and failed. I really thank you both for this very enlightening conversation that gave me a reason why I feel that feeling. I think I can feel overwhelming unsettled emotions in that person and can’t face them cuz I feel that and worries me. Our brain is really strange, how it feels without conscious.
Toxic people and their unhealthy behavior deteriorate my intuition and spiritual intelligence. It becomes unclear and it becomes hard to have intuitive and strong predictability insights related to the future.
Wow I didn’t think this was a gift. I just don’t like the overwhelming feeling is draining I had to leave two jobs bc of it. I thought I was slowing going thru having a mental illness bc ppl don’t understand me I don’t really have friends but I’m ok with that being around ppl and feeling their energies depending on the person overwhelms me I always thought it was just a ppls birth signs or something wrong with them or me being to sensitive
I am an Empath, who worked in marketing (the biz world). IT WAS DESTRUCTIVE! Watching the dog eat dog environment and my coworkers, made me absolutely ILL!
Are we not able eventually, to Transmute those energies through the heat? After all , when we go into nature to deal with these energies, doesen't nature teach us that all negativity can be transmuted?
I had a sales job, and I couldn't deal with the bullshit that they wanted me to feed into the minds of people who were inexperienced and therefore vulnerable to being ripped off while acquiring a piece of useless hardware. This company was notorious for their high-pressure sales tactics and the lawsuits that resulted from their unethical business practices. I didn't last long in that cultish business. It was hell.
My friend is an empath, and she talks nonstop around others who feel overwhelmed by this behavior. Can an empath be insensitive to others and talk over them, and not be sensitive to stop this behavior - even if they have been told the behavior interferes with the relationship? What should she do to get it, and to change?
Philippe Doucet ,if you had done your shared in helping them you must walk away ot it might hurt you.i have done it. Give yourself to others ,or others needs you in other words. So therefore you must kept walking away from that energy or you get stucked . Dont do that.😘
Hi Judith....im not sure if I would be an empath...im very sensitive to scent...if I'm enclosed in a small space I easily become claustrophobic....i also hve panic attacks at times.. I don't like loud sounds...crowds etc...i get very emotional at seeing people suffering...i sometimes prefer to do without and give to ppl who are in need...i never be lucky to get b ck frm amy1 but that's fine...i can't sleep in light or noise it has to be dark and quiet...i also hve a hard time falling aslp as I think about all my problems at bedtimes....do u think I'm an empath?? I cry oftentimes just reading or watching unpleasant scenes.
I hate my empathetic personality it has been a curse to me knowing exactly what people think and feel all the time and just being taken advantage of at every turn. I live my life bye truth in every aspect of my life. I only recently discovered my personality has a label. I have been living alone now for close to 17 years now I live surrounded by nature as far away and with as little contact with other people as possible.
Judith believes that empaths will be the saviors of our world. She wants to make being an empath a joy. This is a noble mission. May all beings learn to extend mercy and forgiveness to ourselves and others. 🙏
I almost weeping right now. I woke once again at 2:30 am wracked with anxiety but felt a leading to investigate being an empath which I have long known deep down.

So glad you found this helpful Elizabeth!
I believe the core issue with the empath is that we feel responsible for the well being of the people around us. " I feel what you feel and its terrible. I don't want you to feel this way and I don't want to feel this way around you. What can I do to make you feel better?"
After all, if they are well, we feel well. This is why we might be people pleasers. But we really should quit fixing people. I really have to hold myself not to engage myself in to others just because I sense they are not ok. Especially when they are energy vampires and don't want to be fixed.
We hear you Franky! Hope this could provide a little insight and help!

Thank you for sharing, Thomas. We hope this was helpful!
Wow that’s beautiful, Thomas! Learning this can give you so much strength, if you choose to use it that way. It certainly helped me. Best of luck! :)
Love this.... just now discovering in my 40s I'm an empath and HSP....have suffered so much thinking something was wrong with me....it feels so nice to know that there is nothing "wrong" with me.
So glad you found this to be helpful Jen!
I'm so grateful💫💖
Just found out myself I am not crazy. I kept asking myself why I did what I did. I couldn't stop helping people and animals, at great stress to myself. I would question my motives, continually.

@Tami Simon has the most relaxing voice I have ever heard. I feel so centered and calm listening to her. Great host, excellent interview. The meditation at the end is PERFECT. 🤟
Let go of what has passed.
Let go of what may come.
Let go of what is happening now.
Don’t try to figure anything out.
Don’t try to make anything happen.
Relax, right now, and rest.
Great try to tell that to a burnt out super empathic nurse trying to return to some level of work when continuously being burdened by human suffering 😢😅
I realized I am an impath recently at 62.. It answers so many questions. Beautiful talk, thank you!Bill
So glad we could provide some insight into empaths and empathy. Good luck Bill!
The Good Life me to at 61 just the other day was learning about NARCISSISTIC people because I couldn't understand why they was acting like they was about empath can up was me all the way I understand so much about what been and what going on with my life now thank God for showing me what been going on in my life

We are glad this could help Tara! Sending love thoughts your way.
Elaine Aron's work was eye opening and grounding, so helpful. Orloff's work provides tools for self-care and boundary setting.
I was walking one evening with my froend and i saw the full moon in all of its glory so I said to my friend: Oh look at the moon! She said nothing. Me, thinking she didn't hear me said again: look at that MOON! She looked at like she didn't recognize me. And that's how empaths are trapped thinking there something wrong with me. 🙂 I just love being an empath, life is beautiful!
I feel totally energized listening to this. I am so excited to feel understood. Thank you :)
So happy to hear this helped Sharyn! Thank you for your kind comment.
Tammy, you have given the best interview I have ever heard. Your questions were spot on, you did not interrupt and I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I also of course learned a lot Judith is fantastic and so are you. Thank you

So glad you found this helpful, Ida!
Just what I needed to hear at such a crucial time. So timely. Especially the last 5 minutes. Thank you Judith and Tami for asking the right questions.
Thank you for this. Many of us realize we are empathic & have trouble dealing, much less knowing how to use this power for good. Too many see it as a weakness in ourselves & others. This is all so helpful and needed. These words speak to my heart. 💜
So glad you found us! Glad you liked the interview!
OMG - this is so spot on. I am 65 and recently discovered I was an empath. Thank you so much for making this talk available.
I love Judith! She's the one who helped to me realize I was an empath and her book has taught me how to cope. ❤
Thanks for your feedback!

the other thing that helps Empathics is MUSIC, music and more music. Its so healing and you can get lost in it. I sang and performed years past and always can revisit that part of me.

I learned a long time ago that some people are vile, discriminatory, or hateful. I knew from that one person that I needed to protect my heart. I turned from him and walked away. That moment was my lesson, which I learned very well. (49 of 60 yes) I do enjoy cutting through the crap.
I lost many things because of not knowing my Empath and highly sensitive man I had bad relationships with my father with my wife with my work as open office dealing with many people I also had problem with my school being in many students in a class since I was six now I am in my thirties i had all in my life Anxiety,Depression,panic attack, too much fatigue , lack of energy, lack of confidence, overwhelming and overstimulating. thanks Dr. Judith Orloff
Thanks for sharing and we are glad you were able to find this interview, Diiriye!
I’m so glad I found this interview.
Judith Orloff , I love you.
I am earth , animal, plant, tree and people Empath.
When I was 8yrs old , while waiting for the city bus with my mother, I asked her ; what will happen to us ,if the bus crashes in accident ? She yelled at me saying “ why did you speak those words “
15min later the bus arrives, the bus gets packed with passengers ( It was a 1 stop direction using the highway to the next town ).
Within 10minutes the bus drivers tells everyone to hold on , the brakes where not working. So ya, the Bus craches in the ditch , everyone go flying to the front, no death , however everyone was cut, bruised , some with broken arms or leg, AND I HAD NOTHING. I walked out without a scratch. My mother was injured lightly. We even made the Cover newspaper the next day ( i still have a copy )
I have had so so so many events in my life we’re I felt Information from anything in my field of energy, and speak the invisible into existence.
I often have had friends witness my doing in public , and they slowly stopped talking to me.
But now I know what all this is. Being an Empath , Awake , highly intuitive , I’m learning more and specially REMEMBERING WHO I AM.
THANK YOU Judith. 😘💫
Great Job TAMI SIMON 😘💫
Thanks for sharing! So glad you like the interview!
Thaaaaank u Judith 4 having a
A personal relationship with your empathetic self n sharing it to help others. As far back as i can remember, it's been me. I was an emotional,weepy, depressed child
Very truthful 2 a fault. I went 2 a therapist when I was 6..... schoool!!!, oh no! It was a disaster. So drained. All my senses were overload.
I had learning disibilitiies, problems at home with narsistic parents n 1 sibling. The only peace I had in my life was 2 n from school where I communes with nature. Watching ants n bumble bees, smelling lilacs, . It restored me. I was labeled a slow learner, dyslexic, dreamer, maybe autistic. Always a label never a cure. I always was saving wounded animals, n dreamed of being Heidi n living in the Swiss alps!! Im so glad to have some reference point in your insight. I always kinda lost, not fitting in. N people like pastors, thought that I was embellishing, over emotional exaggerating. I've had a life time of frustration. People not relating with me.. on my own I had coping skills. I had 2.let go of feeling others pain. So much. Realized that toxic people were a drag , in that I was always used by them n I had 2 day good by 2 some people. I didn't no that these people needed the door, it was just timing or so I thought. I'm a lot freer now. Empath really fits. Now I no why I found a relationship with the
God of Abtaham, Isaac, n Jacob at the age of 7!! Thank u again.
This info just put a whole bunch of puzzle pieces in place. I can see a picture now. its amazing
Glad it was enlightening, Joe! It certainly is a topic we are glad is getting talked about out in the world.
You do learn to get up and leave from negative energy.
Love Tami’s voice!
I was just an alien I always felt since my childhood liked to be in my own world knowing nothing about the world. I was very sensitive feeling everything in extreme and going through all the confusions and was taken advantage by people. I used to not only feel but would start living the life of others especially the very near one's and it was a great confusion to me. I wasn't able to think about myself. I couldn't est meat just at the thought of the cruelities they have to go through. People used to make fun of me and laugh at me. Thanks to the Universe and Dr. Judith who helped me to find a meaning to my life. 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
I’m so grateful for you 😊
THANK YOU, the last question is what I have been struggling with. I did the three minute meditation as I sat at work, it did help. I thank you once again!!!
As an empathic highly sensative person HSP, I had to by develop decompression & detox skills from the world around me YOGA& MEDITATION &SWIMMING, Being in nature, ALL Rebalance Inner Calm give me Srength to BE who I am. I have most of all the Empathic Signs, except not easy to crying, as I have become stronger and more tolerant in our world and towards all people. I have a healing career, I do best when I'm helping others learn about health and wellness. I struggle l most in close relationships where I need the private downtime space > this is where it becomes the most Challenging having your partner understand your needs: and not become drained and overwhelemed in a personal relationship. I have to GO TO my own space for total quiet solitude and my partner must learn to understand my need for that or it doesn't work.
I’ve been employed in a substance abuse center for the past 5 years and I can attest to her theory about Empaths and HSP’s struggling with addictions of all types. Many Empaths/ HSP’s work in the field as well, helping struggling addicts.
It’s been a struggle being an Empath myself dealing with all of the emotions/ problems of the patients but it is rewarding. I’ve most definitely made self care a consistent part of my day to day life as compassion burnout is common.
The VA should have DR's like you. The psychiatrist I saw said oh maybe you're just stressed and antidepressants didn't help, and was told I didn't really need them. But I needed something, and I'm not sure if they are even aware of it.
thank you so much, very helpful information💗
Dr.Orloff *i think you're great!😀i got your book Second Sight many yrs ago, i Loved it +have reread it several times🌺🌷👍🍀
Thanks for the kind comments Cherie!
I so resonate with you Judith! Nature, animals and am totally absorbed into the Universe of the sky. Thank you! It’s so hard to live in the world by not of it.
I'm a male, and empathic to the point that loud movies and music excites me. I can feel what whoever created it wanted us to hear and see.
Thank YouI am Seeing Me for the 1st Time as an An Empath.... So Many Years Living Like What You Have Said And I Grateful Yet So Sad for Hurting my Own Self for So Darn Long.... I’m Old and Feel Maybe I wouldn’t have Hurt Me For Too LONG ... Momi Greene Kona Hawaii
Momi Greene God bless you. Guide and protect you always. Every struggle and challenge is always worth the lesson and essence of that experience. God is our Father 😘 he disciplines us all to teach us as a parent would their child. 💖
I'm 36 and I took me this long to realize I'm not crazy but I did so much damage drug alcohol addiction gambling then pscych meds ty for all you tubers and all else ty
I'm discovering this at 60 very quickly. Today has been alittle hard. I'm not sure what was going on completely but there was some energy that was around. That it was a heavy energy. And it affected me and pulled me down.
So grateful Judith!!
I appreciate that this is an M.D. it is too easy to take subjects like this and get on the Quack Bandwagon. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much! I’m also an empath and we do attract narcissistic people.. finally someone I can relate to. I can take on peoples emotions sooo much.
So glad this could illuminate things Saroy! Thank you for your kind words.
Thank god for this information
Adrain, glad that Judith's words resonated with you!
I finally purchase the book
I went to a therapist who happens to be narcissistic, I attract those people a lot.
joseffben Same✋🏻 I think bc sensitive beings
So sorry to hear this Joseffben! Wow!
joseffben, God I'm so sorry!!! Please realize that you are a Special Breed. You are Unique. What helps me is to find the different little things that I love or even like about myself and incorporate them into my day as often as possible. Even to the point of standing in the mirror daily and telling me, "I love You"..........
joseffben I was raised by a malignant narcissistic mother to be married to a malignant narcissistic man, both are physically, emotionally and mentally abusive. I am 63 years old and finally free of my ex husband and managing to detatch from my 88 year old mother who still is able to flatten me with just her presence. This is huge for me.

Thanks for the talk. I am an extravert Empath. I believe there is a specific area in Sales where extravert Empaths are good at: complex solutions selling in the enterprise world. Intuition, creativity and empathy are fantastic accelerators. However, a safe and open work environment with a lot of freedom and respect of Empaths’s needs is required to succeed and not to finished exhausted. That’s the main challenge for me, not the complex solutions selling role where I am feeling very well.
Im an empath ( born empath) it has been a huge struggle, ive referred to it many times as being a tortured soul....your vidio discussion has been good to listen to
So glad you found this Kelly! Thanks for your kind words.
Thank you so much Judith, hearing this I feel normal now. Thank you!
Thanks so much for listening Cassandra!
I feel my left hand is aching really bad and I look at it and shake it and squeeze it then realize my hand actually doesn't hurt but I feel as if my brain tells me it really hurts and as I wonder why I feel this way I notice that the person next to me has swollen left hand and I can see on his face he is in pain so I decided to help him.
I'm driving and feeling so tired and low and as I pass along an old tree beside the road I feel as if its shade has invisible light that rays on me and calms me.
I can imagine myself on other's shoes, absorb their body language, speech pattern, mannerism, know how it is to be like them, learn and understand their personality pattern, and predict their next action. I can do it simply by just looking at your picture, drawing, handwriting, etc.
Extreme negative emotions are like loud noise and bright lights that irritate me.
Only true empaths would know.
I have been following you on FB. I didn't know that you were on here with Dr. Judith. Subscribed! Love you!
this is life-changing information. Extremely useful. Thank you so much
Thanks for watching Nicole!
Amazing thanks
I f found your channel through the commercial on TH-cam. So glad I did, this is exactly what I need! Thank you.
Glad that you found us Mother Raven! Let us know if you need help finding anything in particular.
Holy crap! This is me down to a t. I had to listen to this twice.
I am a Highly Sensitive Empath, and are on a number of medications. I do have intuition, which I use for reading Tarot for my clients. I realize that if I have a negative person come for a card reading, I simply cannot read for the client. My body and intuition shuts down.
Really interesting Lynn! Wow! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this really enlighting video. It made me understand a lot.
We are glad you enjoyed it Magdalena!
As an empath myself I find any addition info to my knowledge of great use. Thank you.
Very good...
All People ... Yes as Judith says are all Vulnerable for These Empathic Feelings..... But. Only Some have these Feelings and Must Deal With Them whether they recognize early on or after 3/4 of my Life has Past. I have to Stop Taking On Others Problems. I am a Great ENABLER and I Suffer for it and I Must Stop.....I Raised 7 Children Only 3 Were my responsibility but as Children I Could Not- Not Love Them as Mine 🙏🏽❤️🌞
8 am so sensivive. I am goiñgç crazy
i love true sounds.....xo
Thanks Joseph! We love you too!
thanks judith orloff...........your kind.
I don’t take on people’s pain and emotions after being with them, but I do get drained from social events and I often can sense when people have tension in the room but then at times I don’t think I sense it at all. But my emotions do change and reflect others behaviours (I can go from happy to down just like that). Am I an empath or just a sensitive person? I am also too honest and open to almost every one even when I don’t know / haven’t figured them out yet and will still be open towards them even once I’ve figured it what they’re like as if I don’t care and am willing to take the risk. Am I an empath or just a sensitive person?
Thank you!
Ohhh! I have this weird feelings for certain people and used to think why I feel like that. I have always worried about that feeling and searched for reasons a lot and failed. I really thank you both for this very enlightening conversation that gave me a reason why I feel that feeling. I think I can feel overwhelming unsettled emotions in that person and can’t face them cuz I feel that and worries me. Our brain is really strange, how it feels without conscious.
Thank you for watching! We are glad it was able to bring some insight.
thank you, putting myself in other people's shoes helps me to heal.....
Beautifully said Joy!
I could probably help a lot of people.
Toxic people and their unhealthy behavior deteriorate my intuition and spiritual intelligence. It becomes unclear and it becomes hard to have intuitive and strong predictability insights related to the future.
Awesome
Glad you liked it Michael. Thanks for watching!
thank you.
Thank YOU for listening Rebecca.
Wow I didn’t think this was a gift. I just don’t like the overwhelming feeling is draining I had to leave two jobs bc of it. I thought I was slowing going thru having a mental illness bc ppl don’t understand me I don’t really have friends but I’m ok with that being around ppl and feeling their energies depending on the person overwhelms me I always thought it was just a ppls birth signs or something wrong with them or me being to sensitive
So it's good to know that one can be both an HSP n empath. Thanks.
Very similar! Yes!
What Judith didn't say was strangers will be drawn to you. Someone will sit next to you and just spill personal traumas with you.
I Was Born An Ultimate Empath But Was Shadowed By Darkness, Majority Of My Years. I Felt Like A Sociopath Or That I Could Easily, & Evenly Flop Sides?
👍THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 💞
Thank YOU for listening!
I am an Empath, who worked in marketing (the biz world). IT WAS DESTRUCTIVE! Watching the dog eat dog environment and my coworkers, made me absolutely ILL!
Great information - Nature is fantastic!! - GAIA the Universal - Prana high vibrations are very loving and beautiful!
Thanks for watching and commenting Grant!
Wow thank you :-)
Thanks for listening Sarah!
26:44 Empath to Empath relationship
❤❤❤
Are we not able eventually, to Transmute those energies through the heat? After all , when we go into nature to deal with these energies, doesen't nature teach us that all negativity can be transmuted?
So I started to feel an anxiety attack coming on half way through listening to this. I'm not sure why. Absorbing too much.
I had a sales job, and I couldn't deal with the bullshit that they wanted me to feed into the minds of people who were inexperienced and therefore vulnerable to being ripped off while acquiring a piece of useless hardware. This company was notorious for their high-pressure sales tactics and the lawsuits that resulted from their unethical business practices. I didn't last long in that cultish business. It was hell.
My friend is an empath, and she talks nonstop around others who feel overwhelmed by this behavior. Can an empath be insensitive to others and talk over them, and not be sensitive to stop this behavior - even if they have been told the behavior interferes with the relationship? What should she do to get it, and to change?
Great question Bernadette!
Although she's aware that she's an Empath it sounds like she is unskilled in her gift. It is infact she who is overwhelmed.
Do you feel like you need to help people that are angry or do you leave them alone do we have to help them . thank you
Great question Philippe!
No. We learn that we must walk away to protect ourselves.
Philippe Doucet ,if you had done your shared in helping them you must walk away ot it might hurt you.i have done it. Give yourself to others ,or others needs you in other words. So therefore you must kept walking away from that energy or you get stucked . Dont do that.😘
I do everything backwards, but right. Lived my life backwards.
Exactly!🤧🌞
K Cole You too? 🤗
@@mariamkinen8036 Yes Maria. You're not alone.😘💫
I can’t find her Empath group on Facebook... provide link?

How does being an empath relate to aspergers?
Hi Judith....im not sure if I would be an empath...im very sensitive to scent...if I'm enclosed in a small space I easily become claustrophobic....i also hve panic attacks at times..
I don't like loud sounds...crowds etc...i get very emotional at seeing people suffering...i sometimes prefer to do without and give to ppl who are in need...i never be lucky to get b ck frm amy1 but that's fine...i can't sleep in light or noise it has to be dark and quiet...i also hve a hard time falling aslp as I think about all my problems at bedtimes....do u think I'm an empath?? I cry oftentimes just reading or watching unpleasant scenes.
Venecia Miller ,i dont think you are in that way.
Yes
What's your thoughts on empaths being in an open relationship??
I hate my empathetic personality it has been a curse to me knowing exactly what people think and feel all the time and just being taken advantage of at every turn. I live my life bye truth in every aspect of my life. I only recently discovered my personality has a label.
I have been living alone now for close to 17 years now I live surrounded by nature as far away and with as little contact with other people as possible.
