I wish I could work from home I am just finding out that I am an empath wow since figuring this out it explains a lot of why i feel the way i feel a lot of times how i know when i don't know i know it's crazy i need help to develop this i think i have finally found my gift.
Betsy Monroe Well i don’t think so. I used to be shy but now I can say I am an extroverted empath.I like talking to people and listening to them but the only “problem” is that i am too honest and always say what i think.I love to be alone with myself and don’t have any friend.
Right!!!! I was in college as a court reporter and j go to court for trial practice and I said oh my God I’m never gonna be able to do it withall this energy!!
As an alternate opinion: I'm both an empath and HSP and I can't imagine going to a therapist who ISN'T... they just don't get us! Many ppl who are empaths and/or HSPs are the ones who seek therapy. We seek therapy cuz we really need someone who understands us in this world where most ppl are not this way. Those ppl who are neither, just can't get us cuz you can't describe the taste of chocolate to someone who has never tasted chocolate. I think in order to be a good therapist, you MUST be an empath and adding HSP to it is even better. Otherwise, how would you be able to relate to what your clients are feeling?
if your like me its because you understand the emotional fluidity of being thus you know intuition is the only objective logical way to assess emotional psychological health. Synchronicity is the fundamental constant underlying all health. Being an empath is the noticing of the connection between subtle or overt emotional expressions and the psychological concerns of a person. Putting a circle around the 5 senses helps to visualize and integrate my subconcious and conscious worlds as well as understanding that my power is my power always and when it isnt im too focused on one sense or perspective and this leaves me open to exploitation. The circle is synchronicity the prism like fishbowl all of us are swimming in
@@jfdc8432 I'm also an empath ,HSP, and and Licensed Therapist. It took a few years to learn how to protect myself with clients and not take on their energy. Empath therapist who don't learn how to do this don't last long in the field.
@@LPCandArchetypeDeconstructor I get it - I'm also a healer and had to learn the same thing. Yes, those who don't learn get burned out. I'm grateful for this gift every day.
I am a nurse I didn’t know anything about empath, but I always have get out be myself to recharge because some reason need fresh air to refresh , now I am think I am empath because I attract ppl with pain and I have to run away because the exhaust me . They become addictive to me. I also cut off ppl if they talk too much , I thought I have attention defence
judithorloffmd you and your knowledge are amazing. Thank you for sharing your hard work. It helps people like myself. Love and light my dear. Namaste.xx
I'm so thankful to the people that are teaching us about empaths. I'm 63 years old and a male, and had no idea why my life has been really bad until recently, when I learned about empaths. Learning this has led me to meditation and other techniques to help me control my thinking. Financially, this problem is cost me a ridiculous amount of money. Thankfully, what I have been learning in this past couple of months, is turning my life around completely. Thank you very much for your openness.
@@Splassshhh1234 he isn't looking for a crutch! I'm 50 and I wish I'd learned about this sooner in life as well My life has been hard also and I believe if I'd known about this sooner things would have been different in my life!......I'm not dead yet though so now I can put theses techniques to work in my life!
@@Splassshhh1234 not saying you were saying he was looking for a crutch......that should have been on the comment that said that about looking for a crutch on @cbreezy comment I like you wish I'd known sooner!
I’m glad I came across this. I am also highly sensitive to people’s energy. I hate being in crowded places for too long. I’m sensitive to caffeine, food, medication etc. I do love to be in nature and alone to recharge my energy.
@STAR W Same here. I've been a New Yorker my whole life and used to love it but also used to go to my family's country house with my dog when I was younger and that's when I was at my best. I can't do city life anymore.
Emotional sponge....overstimulation and overwhelm, drain you dry ..caffeine and sugar spike cortisol leaving you depleted, inevitable guaranteed downer.
I read her book. Really good. She taught me how to put an imaginary, but real, bubble around me with out disrespecting my belief. I ask the Holy Spirit to put this protective triple layer bubble around me. It works. Thank u Dr.
As an Empath I work outdoors with minimal contact with ppl. I get to enjoy nature and that’s better for me. I also have to sleep alone with my cats in order to get good sleep. I would love to meet other Empaths, I wish their was a group…
Lesson learned about listening to my intuition. My last two relationships were with covert narcs and I knew the moment I met them something was off. Had I followed my gut, it would have saved me from years of pain.
Took me 17 years it's hard with coverts and yes your gut tells you I don't know why we ignore it I'm onto it now I'm studying it as much as I can and they have to retrain physiologist now 5hey are learning more about it and I would suggest you only go to someone who has been through it themselves because people that haven't have no idea of it especially if you have had years of to were you realy think your going crazy don't think the scars will ever leave me
@@muvaknowsbestpodcast I just ended a 27 year marriage last year. My body told me repeatedly something was wrong. I ignored it because he was kind, generous and respectful (most of the time). So I kept telling myseld until it escalated that I was expecting too much.
As an emapth I can honestly say that my daily Qigong practice saved my sanity, it enhanced and secured the quality of my life in an unutterable way. To do Qigong, Yoga, esp Yin Yoga and meditation on a daily basis gives me the security that I can always pull myself out of low vibrational energies. What also helped me a lot was to change my mindset, because I used to think that other people tried to put their energetic trash on me (and others) on purpose, which made me really angry. Nowadays I understand that a lot of people are 'just' so unaware about their way of being, that they walk through life dumping their trash everywhere. A lot of humans don't care about their physical environment, so why would they care about the astral domain...?
Good comment . With enlightenment comes a deeper understanding and acceptance of others. I am now operating at a higher frequency where the choice it's clearly presented to me in the moment, how should I react to this person? Is it beneficial for me and them to get involved In their drama, to feel and share their pain, but often lose my positive energy, or better to listen and observe and give opinion without judgement if it's being looked for. Every situation is different but look for win- win outcomes, spreading your positive energy out there in this physical form world, thus making you and your world stronger. Pick your battles carefully
My intuition has saved my life. I’m glad my boyfriend listened to me. It’s not logical. I Can’t go in the house. Why? I don’t know. There’s a hotel by my house. I could get you a room, and drive you to work in the morning. Okay. He drove me home after work. We went upstairs. I unlocked the front door. My roommates were AA members. They had started drinking. One assaulted the other. There was a bloody skillet on the floor, blood and broken furniture everywhere. My boyfriend helped me clean up. We never told anyone at church. I’m glad my boyfriend listened. It sounds stupid. I can’t go upstairs and I don’t know why.
I'm an older empath... meaning I've learned a few things being one. I noticed that with so much pain in the world and people as individuals... I've just sometimes had to check out emotionally... just to keep my sanity. Years ago...I went to Macy's. I wanted to do something nice for myself and buy some perfume. I was at the cosmetic counter purchasing Estee lauder .. the cosmetic lady...felt that she could open up her whole relationship details to me.... on and on about her marriage and relationship problems. I was understanding and empathetic. I think she felt that I was a compassionate person. So, she continued on and on.... as though I was her therapist and she was sitting in the chair. By the time I left and was in the parking lot..I noticed that I could hardly walk...literally....I was limping to my car. That day didn't go as I planned. I wanted to pamper myself however it turned out that I was supporting someone else at my own expense. Now I redirect people. I won't sit in their emotions with them... especially if the situation doesn't call for it.
Same thing happens to me all the time it is so draining and depressing! I would just like to have interesting uplifting conversations and not have to constantly deal with others dumping their problems on me. I’m the kind of person that rarely shares my struggles and always trying to uplift others but as I get older I find myself just wanting to be alone all the time!
I enjoy being alone, in nature, and creating on my own. I’ve honestly never heard of an extroverted empathic energy. I mean when I was younger I enjoyed being around people however as I’ve aged I cannot deal with all the negative energies outside my door. I can create, think clearly, and manifest in solitude.
Nicole Rose, I wish I had stumbled upon this 30 years ago! FYI- You will meet your partner, best friend, husband, etc and they will have some empath abilities...enjoy the journey!
*THANK YOU, EVERYONE.* As fate would have it....I believe I’ve found him at last. Unbelievable. We have electric connection in every possible way. I have been single for many years, & I wonder where he’s been all my life!!! Grateful we have found each other. I’m a *pisces/empath/HSP* & Joe is a *taurus/empath.* It has been nothing short of amazing. 🙏🏻☀️💚I wish you all love, healing, & joy.
Thank goodness I found this video, I had no idea throughout my whole life how and why I was so sensitive in my involvement with other people including my close family. All the traits mentioned help me understand where I fit into this world and make sense of it. I'm embarrassed to say I'm reached the age 68 recently too. I really am so relieved to know I'm not alone.
I'm 59, and have known intuitively since early childhood, but fought it trying to be "normal." Took very bad PTSD to realize that solitude is best for me, and these videos hold a mirror up when I watch them.
I am an empath. Narcissistic people, energy vampires, etc are draining and luckily I can spot them immediately. Reading others energy is essential. Sometimes (often) the other individuals energy and narcissism is so dark and malignant I’ve gone into denial then of course I make sure to not be near them. Self care is also an absolute essential.
I remember when I was small, I went with my parents to see one of my aunt's who walked with the limp. We stayed with her for 3-4 days. When I came back I myself was walking with a limp and my mother corrected me. There has been so many instances that I hace taken energies and emotions of people without knowing . Thanks Judith for bringing this awakening.❤ I am feeling a lot of change in managing my emotions and energies after the interventions stated by Judith in her books.
I am introverted big time and spend most of my time at my home in the rain forest and with my 2 dogs. It seems I feel everything and it has been difficult and my family scapegoated me and let me know I was scary,different, wrong. Never supported. After the parents passed i eventually understood I needed to be done because there was nothing left to hold the "CRAZY GLUE" together. But my family actually became worse as far as scapegoating gos.I write daly for as long as I can remember. I must focus on me. instead of them.
It seems that my empath abilities are extremely high and all over the place. I feel everything in life human and nonhuman. I also have had psychic abilities since I was a very young child. No one helped me understand these problems and it has been extremely hard for me. I am now taking control of my life thanks to what I have been learning. It seems that this should be taught in schools and to psychiatrist everywhere and we may not have the mental health issues that we have in society today. Thank you ladies enjoy your day
I had the same experience growing up. I'm now 25 years old and barely learning about my abilities. I was led to believe I was clinically insane up to this point. I never accepted that fate, but was left in frustration and anger trying to figure out how to go about daily life without losing my mind. It helps to know there's other people out there who have had the same experiences and are now thriving ❤️
Im an empath and the best therapy for me is prayer. I’m so sensitive to God’s presence especially in Holy Places like Medjugorje. Watching the visionaries during an apparition of Mary is amazing, because i feel everything they feel. Look them up on youtube if you are an empath and you will understand. Prayer is my oxygen. And being around holy people fills me with peace and joy because I feel there love and God’s presence in them. ❤
I never knew am an empath until I broke up with my 7 years narcissist boyfriend and went through a self discovery process because I was lost in him and I didn't know who I was before meeting him. I thought I was crazy but knowing that I am not the only person that feels too much,loves too much, is very sensitive etc..I feel more at peace now. Feels good to be different and yes managing the personally without losing it is very important so am very lucky to have found this video...its like an online therapy session...
I just broke with my narc gf. These people are true demon!!! I feel for you. Now I'm rebuilding myself, spending more time in nature,chillin'!! Im gettin my soul back and it's so peaceful now!!!
I am an Empath and an intuitive Empath at that. My Shrink told me this! I went for help asking “what’s wrong with me??” I have lived for a long time berating myself…”I am stupid” “It’s my fault” “I will never achieve that” and on and on! These are all feelings that built over time…years. I am One of six children and two out of control parents. I was an Empath living with TWO narcissistic parents. The OVERLOAD of emotion in this environment nearly destroyed me. I am still a jittery mess and have to rope my self in constantly!!!!
Have always felt same thing. That i was s failure. Its not easy being successful in this system if you always tired. To bad i learned i was empath so late in life
I grew up with 5 brothers and sisters. My father was a psychiatrist and my mother an opera singer. Very narcissistic parents and abusive. I used to leave my body a lot to survive. I work from home now with my dog and I love it!
@@Laughing-Eagle WhenI was very young, lying in bed, I would feel a tickling lightness in my abdomen region and start to “lift off”, but terrified to leave my mother alone unprotected with my father , would pull me back, plus being small I was unsure about the feeling itself. Now, as an adult I have experienced OBE and astral projection. It is a marvelous
Those who are not sensitive can make life more difficult for HSP and empaths. We have to work much harder to cope. But in learning the necessary skills we become both sensitive and strong. That is a formidable thing to be!!
It sucks being an empath, u can never get ahead its always something u dealing with, u stress more about other ppl problems than ur own. But the first time i heard the narc yell, she rung the inside of my soul. Being alone is calling my name🤞🏾
Yes to the exhaustion. I can’t be around others for too long because I find the millions of nuances that they exude completely overwhelming. I notice the wear on their shoes, and it makes me concerned that their walking gait is unhealthy. I understand bees and I can predict their movement. I watch how people’s eyes move and how quickly. How they dilate. If blinking is out of rhythm. It can be overwhelming.
Well I am 39 year old single male, been married twice, 3 kids, and kind successful in my field now, and around 4 months ago I found out I was not alone. I believe I am a high sensitive Empath for sure. I thought something was wrong with me and that I was some kind dysfunctional person. I did not understand why the noice, light, crowded spaces, and groups of people bothered me so much. Why I wanted my space, wanted to be in nature all the time even though I grew up in the city and don't know any parts like that. Why I never enjoyed being around too many people, or in family gatherings. My mood would change depending on my environment really quick as well. My ahhh moment came when my mother was living with me for a couple months until recently when she moved out . With her I found out that I was very sensitive to her, and that after being around her for a couple minutes I felt really weird, so I started analyzing it everyday, then I searched on GOOGLE for people sensitive to other's energy and that's when I found this woman Judith. I started thinking back at all the issues I had in my life and started asking myself questions, like why did I feel so lazy with my first partner? Why did I feel some angry with my second partner? Why do I feel so negative with my mother, and so on. With ex partners it was horrible! In my first marriage it was better because I was young and was out of the house a lot more, but in my second marriage it was HORRIBLE. The partner I had was a very negative and angry person, and I would sponge all that and more. I could never get a good night rest because I would have crazy dreams and just felt so uncomfortable sleeping with her. After all these years and all these problems in different romantic, friend and family relationship problems, I GET IT. I was kind of upset for a little bit because I have suffered a lot in my life in relationships because how different I am. But better now than never, right? At least now I know what I am and have made adjustments in my life that helped me and others. My career has suffered a lot because I stopped working and giving my 100% years ago, and thank God my business can run on autopilot because I would be broke if it wasn't . Now finally I am able to work, connect with people "At a distance" more. Another thing that I wanted to put out there for anybody reading this. The weirdest thing just happened to me, right now and I realized that it happened before. I was sleeping in the bed my mother was sleeping and I started having a bunch of dreams, and I felt in the dreams I was her. Now I understand why I had so many dreams when I slept in my Ex's bed in the past when we were broken up and tried to work things out. I slept in her bed and dreamt of somebody she was seeing and I just could not sleep that night or any other, even though she had broken up with him. With time I understood that my EX was a very toxic person I could not be around her or anybody else that had bad energy or problems.
Great share. Once I slept in the room in which my roommate was on the other bed nearby and I was having her dream. I have been sleeping on yoga mat(grounding) by some intuitive guidance since a long time. Going in nature/beach is a saver.
Similar experience but a bit more worser however I was very aware since being a child looking and healing the bad loosing many years of my life but still I never regret or I would not change it it was my path in life and still is I guess so but the older we get the better people we want around and life which is often not possible to have and that's when the discovery of another kind of a being starts from
I am also an empath and I thank you all for this informational video. I feel like I resorb so much of the energy around me. And from people. I hide out in my home. The majority of the time just to keep my peace. I go out in the course of the day and try my best. To not exhort all of the energy that's going on around me. And also I am learning to tell what is my feelings and what I am picking up from someone else.
Being an empath or a highly sensitive person isn't a curse. Learn to recognize your 'self' apart from your empathetic side and be brave enough to speak your truth, cause in the end you will be alone and those you need have always been there. Being an empath isn't a fight with narcissists. We are not VICTIMS, be aware of your gifts and use them 'when you want to.' Have a good one. 💜
The woman on the left, Heather, I am exactly the same,an extroverted empath....also a highly sensitive person...I know I don't like isolation or uncertainty the last two years has brought so much of both isolation and uncertainty. I found this presentation so enlightening. Thank you ladies...x💚x
I am feeling a sense of understanding for something I never understood! wow I have a hard time in church with energy that seems out of place and get really uncomfortable. Thanks I'm just learning about myself more and more 70 years later.
I stopped watching the news in 2010 because I realized I was too sensitive and it stressed me out. People think I don't care but it's that I care too much.
I'm definitely an Empath and have experienced depression but Medication doesn't help the core issues, Sitting with Self and figuring out the healthiest way to process emotions is key
Thank you for sharing this. I just ordered the book. I was always scolded for being too sensitive and too emotional. Now I have a different perspective on sensitivity.
As an Empath myself i would have to leave large crowds and gatherings or sit in a corner quietly put ear phones in to center/steady my self from all the noise and energy firing at me. The more i learn about myself the more pieces of me clicks together, comments that family and friends would say about my character and habits such as being a child and disappearing into a book, not letting people touch me almost like i was guarding myself, being to generous that it was becoming my detriment....it all makes sense now!
Great, thanks much. I read her books over many years and she helps me to live a better life in this loud world and in my job as a mental health professional
Thanks this has been very helpful . I've always enjoyed needing my alone time without being lonely. People don't understand it. I am an intuitive empath, always following my gut feeling. I've had this as a child but never understood it. lol, I always would go barefoot on the grass and soft moss for calming down , it feels wonderful to connect to our earth.
Some of these adjectives make sense to me, staying home & quiet helps me. Being around people gives me nervous energy. Going to big stores with lots of stuff is overwhelming. Anything to do with animals makes me either cry or laugh depending on the context. As many of you say, other people don't always understand because they live so easily. I've developed tinnitus, it's the most challenging difficult life changing thing I pray to overcome it. I'm hoping to cultivate some of what you all are contributing.
@@Elodie830 Here's a reframe for You. The sound is a frequency code from Your Higher Self or some benevelent or Divine source, to balance and upgrade mental and genetic coding. When the tone starts, stop everything gather your attention and and focus on it, accept it as a download and absorb it. The first time I did this it incrrased slightly in intensity and then stopped after a very short moment as though I had integrated it and received the complete message, so it no longer needed to be transmitted, as opposed to instead trying to block it out, and it having to keep sending, because it's not getting recieved. It's worth trying, this technique is only new to me, but I couldn't resist sharing as the results have been so good so far. All the best.
I'm so glad I figured out I was an empath. I thought something was wrong with me, everyone saying I'm too sensitive, which in it's self is a joke!! Look around at our disastrous world and tell me any one is being too sensitive, more like not sensitive ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dropped my tears after watching This video 😢. I get everything from this, relatable for me . As an empath now i know my strength ❤ i can manage my empath for the right things. Thank you for your sharing ❤
74yrs old. Thought I was crazy. Couldn't understand why I behaved as I did. Kept asking myself, why am I doing this(stress in fixing situation)? This need to help was overwhelming. This connection to people or animals who I could feel needed me drew me like a magnet. Could, would not walk away from pain. Interesting observation for me, now I know I wasn't wrong, was as a brown person meeting people, being blown away with negative feelings Thank you, feel free
I didn't know why I was the way I was and I didn't know how to explain it to anyone. I thought I was just crazy I had no idea there's a name for it and everything! Wow you have no idea how much coming across this has helped me.
Empaths make great counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists. That intuitiveness really helps heal others. Good nurses are often empaths as are any healing profession. I found teaching persons with IDD are my favorite people of all. Funny, I had my daughter, Down Syndrome and it was lovely. She developed brain issues like Autism, so she's very different now but I truly understand her and have 5 tons of patience. Most say, how do you do it? To me, it's not that hard if you get them.
Julie I AM ok!!! I use to be sooo anger y’all the time, after quitting my job in 2016 I had time to myself to learn myself. I know realize I was being emotionally drained by my surroundings 😩🤦🏾♀️
omg why did I did not hear about this before it helped me so much to understand myself why I feel so tired why I don't like to go out as much why I feel so much for other people why I get so hurt when ppl just drop me when I am there for them .... THANK YOU SENDING BIG HUG xxx
Hi Marketa d. Same here. I just realized today that I am an empath. All this time I have been sensitive, feel sad and worry too much for other people. I prefer to stay at home, I like nature, am very concern about recycle activities. I have even been thinking of getting self-employed lately. OMG so glad finally I know myself better.
@@dellmktr4152 that's so true I like to be on my own but at same time with my family don't like crowded places .... when I finish work I am exhausted now I know hahaha xxx
Judith, I never met a psychiatrist as open and sensitive as you. I once told a psychiatrist that it wouldn't hurt if he had a little compassion. He said, you don't need compassion .....that isn't going to help you! I couldn't believe it. I know you say that highly sensitive people who might need medication, the might need a sliver instead of a regular dose. How does a person get balanced when they have PTSD? caused by a lot of trauma? Thanks Dr Judy.
thank you for the beautiful note. Try meditation to open your heart and self-soothe you burdens and stress. /breathe into the sky and the clouds. dissipate your stress that way.
@@vanessabrady6024 Your story is amazing vanessa!! Glad that things did work out for you! Thanks for sharing about your experience with us all here. It really means something to me, I feel I have really suffered too. I also have struggled to find help out there, ughhhh!! Also, how did you find out that you're an "empath"? Are you sure?? 😥😥😥😥
Olivia Cadena - I found out I was an empath about 2 years ago. I’ve always had visions and heard voices that were not mine usually after speaking with a person who was going through trauma or had trauma in their past. I can feel their pain, usually in my chest, like I was having a heart attack. I would be drained after meeting with someone like this., especially if they hadn’t processed their trauma. I would also have visions of memories that didn’t belong to me. One day, while talking with a client I was having a vision of a little boy being slapped by his father and telling him he was worthless. I asked my client if I could share what I was experiencing and he said yes. I told him what I was seeing and hearing and he told me his father would do this to him all the time but never mentioned it because he thought every child went through the same thing. I told him that this is where his depression was stemming from as well as low self esteem. Well, he decided to have a talk with his Father and his Father asked for his forgiveness. My client is doing much better and was able to discontinue his meds. I believe that this closure was needed in order for him to heal. Since then I have started to trust what my body, soul and mind were telling me. I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder when I was 20 because of these voices and visions. I now know that it was not a mental illness but a gift for me to use to help others. The hardest thing to do in my journey was to learn to trust what I was experiencing and rely on my empathy. After I started to trust myself, my gift became more finely tuned. 🙂
@@vanessabrady6024 Hi again!! I just read your reply to me. Thanks so much for sharing it! I now see what you're saying about being very empathetic, or empathic. I hope you continue to be able to help people, and further develop your gift!! Don't let yourself burn out, 😧 either, take care of yourself!!! The world isn't, from my own life experiences, exactly real empath-friendly. I can relate to your experiences, mine have just differed, and I think I must be older than you are. It's all interesting, though. Thanks again Vanessa. Best wishes to you always!!! GBU!! Don't forget too, God loves you! 🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇👍
I can relate to you Mary!! Have really struggled to find good help for myself. Like this Dr says, " we're not just a head". There's allot more to us! Have you found any help as of now? Thanks for sharing . 😇🤗🤗🤗
I'm not the typical empath. I love to go out and socialize but I have to take a break periodically. I can go out by myself, travel by myself, go out to eat by myself because I know I'll meet someone or someone will talk to me. People always find me and talk to me. Being around people doesn't bother me. I do feel restored after a beach trip. I don't like the woods, forest or that type of nature. Only the beach.
I am a full empathy and my husband was a narcissist we had a great marriage but I was always tired and had my energy sucked and I use to tell him but not the right way I think I would deal with it diff now because I meditate now . He passed away and I miss him everyday and wish I had the knowledge back then that I have now. Also he was extremely creative but was fully engrossed in his work. Thank you for this talk very educational
I am both introvert and extrovert empath. I love being home alone, and yet if you can get me out, I love being with whomever I am with, even large groups. I have always been amazing with animals too. I love working with horses with emotional issues, its like I can read and fix them. My biggest struggle has been all the emotions on fb 2020-2021. Its been a big struggle. My business is on there so I can’t avoid it. I also get physical pains from some people, my co-worker always seemed to pass me her ailments. haha. Its tricky being an empath. emotional and anxiety, but we can recharge and heal ourselves pretty fast too.
if you meditated in a group sit at the front of the row at the end towards the right hand side this is so you can leave as soon as the session has finished. if i am an empath im a mixed bag a bit of everything the other reason the meditators get excited afterwards and want to ask the teacher question yes intuition is very real i explored this a number of times it appears our inner soul is connected to our being and warns us of approaching danger
THIS VIDEO JUST SAVED MY FAMILY!!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOO UNBELIEVABLY AN EMOTIONAL AND INTUITIVE EMPATH...sorry for all caps I'm just OBVIOUSLY an empath!!!!
I come back in here since years because its just feel so fine nice to be connected this virtual empathic way through our experiences in life and environments I feel the most close in here 🧡
My hope is that we are able to reach a younger generation so that their lives are not the chaos most of ours were...with the knowledge we have gained through awesome videos like these, we now know how to navigate thru our struggles and enhance our strengths....just think how much stronger we would be and we would have so much more to offer those who's lives we affect...I know my life would have been so much different had i been introduced to empaths and learned these things just as it is now that i do!
This introverted empath is listening to this on a Saturday afternoon (alone, needless to say), while soaking in a candlelit hot bath in advance of a mid-day nap. How appropriate 😉😛
Great information, insights, and wisdom. Fabulous questions too. And Doc...this couldn't have happened without you. Love the suggestion about meditation. I'm grateful we're talking about empathy. My entire life I was told that I was too sensitive instead of being told I had a gift. Thank you everyone I enjoyed this. Namaste
I enjoyed watching until 41 mins in when the man asked about online test. Clearly, he is not in tune with himself or empathic because there would be no need for a test. You either are empathic or not. Your an empath, if you heard words like you're too sensitive, you feel too much, I am not feeling that...you feel fine one moment and next your ill or headache, feel exhaust for no reason. The problem with this talk is that the rest of the world does not work for Google and it has become all too common to snap off at people, in the Media and even people running government; or just going to the food store. I am grateful that this was upload by Google but most untrained (in the fact that they don't realize there empathic) want to leave the planet and or so traumatized that they learned to shut down their intuition down, to not see the signs or know the warning signs, because they raised parents, went to school and etc.. who help them to shut down, codep, or out right narcissistic.I have also seen this be generational similar to nacarissic passed to the next lineage. With so much information and disinformation out there find out what works for you and as a struggling empath myself realize there is no quick fix or magic pill, it takes work. You have to find tools that work for you. Dr. Orloff book is only a tool.
Oh my God,yes. The few minutes when the man was asking the question and constantly interrupting and then flashing his knowledge about Myers-Briggs just killed the mood and ambience of the whole talk that I enjoyed until that moment. I can surely say that he has a low empathy. I have seen a lot of guys like him.
Being alone is the only way i can unwind . I also like to be alone especially if I'm drawing or writing or even making music. There's a lot of narcissistic people in this world and we can be doormats for them. We have to learn to say No
The best thing empaths can do is connect - build a relationship with God/Jesus! I struggled so hard until I reconnected with God/Jesus, we can’t do this on our own! It’s also a gift from God we really just want harmony!
I had the feeling I would love working at Google after watching this speech. It is amazing working in a place you feel comfortable to be creative and productive, knowing people around will respect each other in such a deep level. Also, can't wait to read that book!
OMG!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOOO excited to watch this and hear from Judith. She literally set me free. My weekly therapy did not come close to how Judith’s Book and Audiobook helped set me free
I feel that I’m both! Introvert and extrovert. I need both to function. It’s hard because I feel that I need them at my exact time and it usually doesn’t work like that.
I’m a empath, but In the work environment I definitely take on narcissistic elements, because If I don’t, everybody would affect me. Sometimes that makes ppl feel like they are insignificant. But, you can’t be everybody friend. So I see it as a protective measure, a boundary, coping mechanism that I can do perhaps more compassionately.
May Allah bless these woman for being so courageous and for standing up for what’s right. Nobody should be forced to or to not wear a hijab it’s about your personal relationship with Allah
This is so wonderful to hear the science, behind the force of insite, and empathy. They called me Dr Dolittle when I was a child, as, I had/have this - trying on - of energy with dogs and horses. The neighborhood kids would mistreat me and and thus isolated me from my peers. Mentors saved my life.
I'm semi empathetic, but living and an extremely negative toxic environment has dulled it. I'm also extremely intuitive and can see things happening before others do.
I feel so discouraged sometimes because i can feel happy and peaceful and then my mom or one of my daughters feels upset or depressed and then i do even though we don't even live together. I go through this process of trying to figure out why i feel so down then i find out it's one of them. I can't seem to just say oh this isn't mine and detach from their feelings until i find out it is actually one of them.
Also the intro needs core work done from what I have observed. Often times unable to project the voice, maybe shaky sounding. So def yoga can be useful for both intro and Extros! Sing! So glad I found this panel! This is awesome! Thanks for the space!
Me and my daughter feel others feelings and know their thoughts. It can be really difficult for us. We protect ourselves with Reiki. It takes a lot of it away thank goodness
I think, if possible, empaths should be allowed to work from home.
Thank goodness I can do this. It has saved my sanity!
I cant wait to be my own boss!!
Same here. I haven't been sick in 3 yrs since I started working from home.
Me too! I don’t think there is such thing as extroverted empaths. That’s impossible
I wish I could work from home I am just finding out that I am an empath wow since figuring this out it explains a lot of why i feel the way i feel a lot of times how i know when i don't know i know it's crazy i need help to develop this i think i have finally found my gift.
Betsy Monroe Well i don’t think so.
I used to be shy but now I can say I am an extroverted empath.I like talking to people and listening to them but the only “problem” is that i am too honest and always say what i think.I love to be alone with myself and don’t have any friend.
I cannot imagine being a psychologist or psychiatrist as an empath. Kudos to this lady.
Right!!!! I was in college as a court reporter and j go to court for trial practice and I said oh my God I’m never gonna be able to do it withall this energy!!
As an alternate opinion: I'm both an empath and HSP and I can't imagine going to a therapist who ISN'T... they just don't get us! Many ppl who are empaths and/or HSPs are the ones who seek therapy. We seek therapy cuz we really need someone who understands us in this world where most ppl are not this way. Those ppl who are neither, just can't get us cuz you can't describe the taste of chocolate to someone who has never tasted chocolate. I think in order to be a good therapist, you MUST be an empath and adding HSP to it is even better. Otherwise, how would you be able to relate to what your clients are feeling?
if your like me its because you understand the emotional fluidity of being thus you know intuition is the only objective logical way to assess emotional psychological health. Synchronicity is the fundamental constant underlying all health. Being an empath is the noticing of the connection between subtle or overt emotional expressions and the psychological concerns of a person. Putting a circle around the 5 senses helps to visualize and integrate my subconcious and conscious worlds as well as understanding that my power is my power always and when it isnt im too focused on one sense or perspective and this leaves me open to exploitation. The circle is synchronicity the prism like fishbowl all of us are swimming in
@@jfdc8432 I'm also an empath ,HSP, and and Licensed Therapist. It took a few years to learn how to protect myself with clients and not take on their energy. Empath therapist who don't learn how to do this don't last long in the field.
@@LPCandArchetypeDeconstructor I get it - I'm also a healer and had to learn the same thing. Yes, those who don't learn get burned out. I'm grateful for this gift every day.
It was a joy to speak at GOOGLE!
Thank you for your great wisdom, cheers
I am a nurse I didn’t know anything about empath, but I always have get out be myself to recharge because some reason need fresh air to refresh , now I am think I am empath because I attract ppl with pain and I have to run away because the exhaust me . They become addictive to me.
I also cut off ppl if they talk too much , I thought I have attention defence
judithorloffmd you and your knowledge are amazing. Thank you for sharing your hard work. It helps people like myself. Love and light my dear. Namaste.xx
judithorloffmd Peace and Blessings Judith, is it possible to be both introverted and extroverted Empath?
it's a revelation to find out that you are an empath!
I'm an empath and I cannot stand being around negative energy that makes me feel like I'm choking! It's like I can feel the spirit upon people..
I get this too, it feels like its burning and then fades away when something has passed
@@becca1729 no such thing as an empath
Literally
My stomach will start growling lol
@@modvccs please there is no such thing as a emphath
I'm so thankful to the people that are teaching us about empaths. I'm 63 years old and a male, and had no idea why my life has been really bad until recently, when I learned about empaths. Learning this has led me to meditation and other techniques to help me control my thinking. Financially, this problem is cost me a ridiculous amount of money. Thankfully, what I have been learning in this past couple of months, is turning my life around completely. Thank you very much for your openness.
looking for a crutch will never make you happy 🤦🏽♂️
I’m male, 65, just learning I:an empath. Wish I knew sooner...
@@Splassshhh1234 he isn't looking for a crutch! I'm 50 and I wish I'd learned about this sooner in life as well
My life has been hard also and I believe if I'd known about this sooner things would have been different in my life!......I'm not dead yet though so now I can put theses techniques to work in my life!
@@Splassshhh1234 not saying you were saying he was looking for a crutch......that should have been on the comment that said that about looking for a crutch on @cbreezy comment
I like you wish I'd known sooner!
William Sr. Donaldson I am also an empath. I would like to talk with you
I’m glad I came across this. I am also highly sensitive to people’s energy. I hate being in crowded places for too long. I’m sensitive to caffeine, food, medication etc. I do love to be in nature and alone to recharge my energy.
I am sensitive to caffeine too it has the reverse effect on me I will be really tired.
@STAR W Same here. I've been a New Yorker my whole life and used to love it but also used to go to my family's country house with my dog when I was younger and that's when I was at my best. I can't do city life anymore.
Yes! Nature is so healing🙂
I’m - I am - I hate - I’m - I do love.... are you sure you are not more on the narcissistic spectrum?
Emotional sponge....overstimulation and overwhelm, drain you dry ..caffeine and sugar spike cortisol leaving you depleted, inevitable guaranteed downer.
I read her book. Really good. She taught me how to put an imaginary, but real, bubble around me with out disrespecting my belief. I ask the Holy Spirit to put this protective triple layer bubble around me. It works. Thank u Dr.
Aw cute black cat!
Meow
Right--the Comforter is with 18:52 us.🎚️😊.
As an Empath I work outdoors with minimal contact with ppl. I get to enjoy nature and that’s better for me. I also have to sleep alone with my cats in order to get good sleep. I would love to meet other Empaths, I wish their was a group…
Lesson learned about listening to my intuition. My last two relationships were with covert narcs and I knew the moment I met them something was off. Had I followed my gut, it would have saved me from years of pain.
Totally understand you
Current hubby is one. Marriage is in the process of ending - he wanted it.
How did you know?! This type of thing is hard to tell in the beginning
Took me 17 years it's hard with coverts and yes your gut tells you I don't know why we ignore it I'm onto it now I'm studying it as much as I can and they have to retrain physiologist now 5hey are learning more about it and I would suggest you only go to someone who has been through it themselves because people that haven't have no idea of it especially if you have had years of to were you realy think your going crazy don't think the scars will ever leave me
@@muvaknowsbestpodcast I just ended a 27 year marriage last year. My body told me repeatedly something was wrong. I ignored it because he was kind, generous and respectful (most of the time). So I kept telling myseld until it escalated that I was expecting too much.
I had no idea so much work was being done in this field. How relieving.
As an emapth I can honestly say that my daily Qigong practice saved my sanity, it enhanced and secured the quality of my life in an unutterable way. To do Qigong, Yoga, esp Yin Yoga and meditation on a daily basis gives me the security that I can always pull myself out of low vibrational energies.
What also helped me a lot was to change my mindset, because I used to think that other people tried to put their energetic trash on me (and others) on purpose, which made me really angry. Nowadays I understand that a lot of people are 'just' so unaware about their way of being, that they walk through life dumping their trash everywhere. A lot of humans don't care about their physical environment, so why would they care about the astral domain...?
Great comment. I can relate to it.
Same here.
I really agree with you there!!! True. Thanks for saying this here. 👍👍👍👍❤❤
Good comment . With enlightenment comes a deeper understanding and acceptance of others. I am now operating at a higher frequency where the choice it's clearly presented to me in the moment, how should I react to this person? Is it beneficial for me and them to get involved In their drama, to feel and share their pain, but often lose my positive energy, or better to listen and observe and give opinion without judgement if it's being looked for. Every situation is different but look for win- win outcomes, spreading your positive energy out there in this physical form world, thus making you and your world stronger. Pick your battles carefully
Qi gong daily for me too also Zazen breathing meditation
My intuition has saved my life. I’m glad my boyfriend listened to me. It’s not logical.
I Can’t go in the house.
Why?
I don’t know.
There’s a hotel by my house. I could get you a room, and drive you to work in the morning.
Okay.
He drove me home after work. We went upstairs. I unlocked the front door. My roommates were AA members. They had started drinking. One assaulted the other. There was a bloody skillet on the floor, blood and broken furniture everywhere.
My boyfriend helped me clean up. We never told anyone at church.
I’m glad my boyfriend listened. It sounds stupid. I can’t go upstairs and I don’t know why.
I'm an older empath...
meaning I've learned a few things being one. I noticed that with so much pain in the world and people as individuals... I've just sometimes had to check out emotionally... just to keep my sanity. Years ago...I went to Macy's. I wanted to do something nice for myself and buy some perfume. I was at the cosmetic counter purchasing Estee lauder .. the cosmetic lady...felt that she could open up her whole relationship details to me.... on and on about her marriage and relationship problems. I was understanding and empathetic.
I think she felt that I was a compassionate person. So, she continued on and on.... as though I was her therapist and she was sitting in the chair. By the time I left and was in the parking lot..I noticed that I could hardly walk...literally....I was limping to my car. That day didn't go as I planned. I wanted to pamper myself however it turned out that I was supporting someone else at my own expense. Now I redirect people. I won't sit in their emotions with them... especially if the situation doesn't call for it.
Same thing happens to me all the time it is so draining and depressing! I would just like to have interesting uplifting conversations and not have to constantly deal with others dumping their problems on me. I’m the kind of person that rarely shares my struggles and always trying to uplift others but as I get older I find myself just wanting to be alone all the time!
Same. People seem to think I’m their dumping ground. Not their friend, just a place for them to dump their upset.
I enjoy being alone, in nature, and creating on my own. I’ve honestly never heard of an extroverted empathic energy. I mean when I was younger I enjoyed being around people however as I’ve aged I cannot deal with all the negative energies outside my door. I can create, think clearly, and manifest in solitude.
thank you♥️♥️♥️I wish I’d stumbled upon this 15 years ago. I hope someday to find someone like me - a partner, best friend, husband, etc
I hear ya!!! Best wishes to you always!! 😁😁
Nicole Rose, I wish I had stumbled upon this 30 years ago! FYI- You will meet your partner, best friend, husband, etc and they will have some empath abilities...enjoy the journey!
Nicole Rose, you will.
Me too!
*THANK YOU, EVERYONE.* As fate would have it....I believe I’ve found him at last. Unbelievable. We have electric connection in every possible way. I have been single for many years, & I wonder where he’s been all my life!!! Grateful we have found each other. I’m a *pisces/empath/HSP* & Joe is a *taurus/empath.* It has been nothing short of amazing. 🙏🏻☀️💚I wish you all love, healing, & joy.
Thank goodness I found this video, I had no idea throughout my whole life how and why I was so sensitive in my involvement with other people including my close family. All the traits mentioned help me understand where I fit into this world and make sense of it. I'm embarrassed to say I'm reached the age 68 recently too. I really am so relieved to know I'm not alone.
I am 54, only known i was an empath for about 3 years and didn't know, everyone didn't feel and see things the same.
You’re not alone. Same here.
I'm 59, and have known intuitively since early childhood, but fought it trying to be "normal." Took very bad PTSD to realize that solitude is best for me, and these videos hold a mirror up when I watch them.
@@anthonyhettinger9702where are u from?
Daaamn. My whole life. I could feel everyone's emotions and now i know im not crazy
Thank you
I am an empath. Narcissistic people, energy vampires, etc are draining and luckily I can spot them immediately. Reading others energy is essential. Sometimes (often) the other individuals energy and narcissism is so dark and malignant I’ve gone into denial then of course I make sure to not be near them. Self care is also an absolute essential.
I remember when I was small, I went with my parents to see one of my aunt's who walked with the limp. We stayed with her for 3-4 days. When I came back I myself was walking with a limp and my mother corrected me. There has been so many instances that I hace taken energies and emotions of people without knowing .
Thanks Judith for bringing this awakening.❤ I am feeling a lot of change in managing my emotions and energies after the interventions stated by Judith in her books.
I am introverted big time and spend most of my time at my home in the rain forest and with my 2 dogs. It seems I feel everything and it has been difficult and my family scapegoated me and let me know I was scary,different, wrong. Never supported. After the parents passed i eventually understood I needed to be done because there was nothing left to hold the "CRAZY GLUE" together. But my family actually became worse as far as scapegoating gos.I write daly for as long as I can remember. I must focus on me. instead of them.
In adulthood I have found peace. I prefer to choose my company. Thank you for this one.
It seems that my empath abilities are extremely high and all over the place. I feel everything in life human and nonhuman. I also have had psychic abilities since I was a very young child. No one helped me understand these problems and it has been extremely hard for me. I am now taking control of my life thanks to what I have been learning. It seems that this should be taught in schools and to psychiatrist everywhere and we may not have the mental health issues that we have in society today. Thank you ladies enjoy your day
I really agree with you. Good points to make!!! I can SO relate to you, too. Thanks for saying this. 😄😉😉👍👍
I had the same experience growing up. I'm now 25 years old and barely learning about my abilities. I was led to believe I was clinically insane up to this point. I never accepted that fate, but was left in frustration and anger trying to figure out how to go about daily life without losing my mind. It helps to know there's other people out there who have had the same experiences and are now thriving ❤️
out there man
Know what you mean discovered mine at about 5, really strong, and nobody to explain it.
Im an empath and the best therapy for me is prayer. I’m so sensitive to God’s presence especially in Holy Places like Medjugorje. Watching the visionaries during an apparition of Mary is amazing, because i feel everything they feel. Look them up on youtube if you are an empath and you will understand. Prayer is my oxygen. And being around holy people fills me with peace and joy because I feel there love and God’s presence in them. ❤
I am an empath, and according to a couple of advisors, I’m also an earth angel.🥰
I am 100 percent an empath. I now feel diagnosed correctly! Ty so much ladies!
I never knew am an empath until I broke up with my 7 years narcissist boyfriend and went through a self discovery process because I was lost in him and I didn't know who I was before meeting him. I thought I was crazy but knowing that I am not the only person that feels too much,loves too much, is very sensitive etc..I feel more at peace now. Feels good to be different and yes managing the personally without losing it is very important so am very lucky to have found this video...its like an online therapy session...
I just broke with my narc gf. These people are true demon!!! I feel for you. Now I'm rebuilding myself, spending more time in nature,chillin'!!
Im gettin my soul back and it's so peaceful now!!!
"Nobody's all bad. There's a buddah and a demon inside of everybody. It just depends on what we feed. We want to feed the best parts of ourselves." 💙🙏
My demon comes out in the bedroom
I am an Empath and an intuitive Empath at that. My Shrink told me this! I went for help asking “what’s wrong with me??” I have lived for a long time berating myself…”I am stupid” “It’s my fault” “I will never achieve that” and on and on! These are all feelings that built over time…years. I am One of six children and two out of control parents. I was an Empath living with TWO narcissistic parents. The OVERLOAD of emotion in this environment nearly destroyed me. I am still a jittery mess and have to rope my self in constantly!!!!
Me 2
Have always felt same thing. That i was s failure. Its not easy being successful in this system if you always tired. To bad i learned i was empath so late in life
I grew up with 5 brothers and sisters. My father was a psychiatrist and my mother an opera singer. Very narcissistic parents and abusive. I used to leave my body a lot to survive. I work from home now with my dog and I love it!
@@Laughing-Eagle WhenI was very young, lying in bed, I would feel a tickling lightness in my abdomen region and start to “lift off”, but terrified to leave my mother alone unprotected with my father , would pull me back, plus being small I was unsure about the feeling itself. Now, as an adult I have experienced OBE and astral projection. It is a marvelous
Those who are not sensitive can make life more difficult for HSP and empaths.
We have to work much harder to cope.
But in learning the necessary skills we become both sensitive and strong. That is a formidable thing to be!!
I enjoyed the question at the end. Most adults I have seen around me are not in tune with their feelings. But they are kind and have good intentions.
Alexithymia personality.
It sucks being an empath, u can never get ahead its always something u dealing with, u stress more about other ppl problems than ur own. But the first time i heard the narc yell, she rung the inside of my soul. Being alone is calling my name🤞🏾
Thank you.
Been waiting for decades for the science to catch up with this.
Yes to the exhaustion. I can’t be around others for too long because I find the millions of nuances that they exude completely overwhelming. I notice the wear on their shoes, and it makes me concerned that their walking gait is unhealthy. I understand bees and I can predict their movement. I watch how people’s eyes move and how quickly. How they dilate. If blinking is out of rhythm. It can be overwhelming.
haha are you me? I take in so much information like this constantly it's truly exhausting to be around people sometimes.
I can't deal with anything beyond 2 hours.
YES! Me too. Thank tou for sharing this. I can relate to the exhaustion component of this.
Well I am 39 year old single male, been married twice, 3 kids, and kind successful in my field now, and around 4 months ago I found out I was not alone. I believe I am a high sensitive Empath for sure. I thought something was wrong with me and that I was some kind dysfunctional person.
I did not understand why the noice, light, crowded spaces, and groups of people bothered me so much. Why I wanted my space, wanted to be in nature all the time even though I grew up in the city and don't know any parts like that. Why I never enjoyed being around too many people, or in family gatherings. My mood would change depending on my environment really quick as well.
My ahhh moment came when my mother was living with me for a couple months until recently when she moved out . With her I found out that I was very sensitive to her, and that after being around her for a couple minutes I felt really weird, so I started analyzing it everyday, then I searched on GOOGLE for people sensitive to other's energy and that's when I found this woman Judith.
I started thinking back at all the issues I had in my life and started asking myself questions, like why did I feel so lazy with my first partner? Why did I feel some angry with my second partner? Why do I feel so negative with my mother, and so on.
With ex partners it was horrible! In my first marriage it was better because I was young and was out of the house a lot more, but in my second marriage it was HORRIBLE. The partner I had was a very negative and angry person, and I would sponge all that and more. I could never get a good night rest because I would have crazy dreams and just felt so uncomfortable sleeping with her.
After all these years and all these problems in different romantic, friend and family relationship problems, I GET IT.
I was kind of upset for a little bit because I have suffered a lot in my life in relationships because how different I am. But better now than never, right? At least now I know what I am and have made adjustments in my life that helped me and others.
My career has suffered a lot because I stopped working and giving my 100% years ago, and thank God my business can run on autopilot because I would be broke if it wasn't . Now finally I am able to work, connect with people "At a distance" more.
Another thing that I wanted to put out there for anybody reading this. The weirdest thing just happened to me, right now and I realized that it happened before.
I was sleeping in the bed my mother was sleeping and I started having a bunch of dreams, and I felt in the dreams I was her. Now I understand why I had so many dreams when I slept in my Ex's bed in the past when we were broken up and tried to work things out. I slept in her bed and dreamt of somebody she was seeing and I just could not sleep that night or any other, even though she had broken up with him. With time I understood that my EX was a very toxic person I could not be around her or anybody else that had bad energy or problems.
Great share. Once I slept in the room in which my roommate was on the other bed nearby and I was having her dream. I have been sleeping on yoga mat(grounding) by some intuitive guidance since a long time. Going in nature/beach is a saver.
Similar experience but a bit more worser however I was very aware since being a child looking and healing the bad loosing many years of my life but still I never regret or I would not change it it was my path in life and still is I guess so but the older we get the better people we want around and life which is often not possible to have and that's when the discovery of another kind of a being starts from
Where are u from?
@@jaocodillo2140 All over -- can't answer that, it might be my crazy toxic ex in this message, lol.
I am also an empath and I thank you all for this informational video. I feel like I resorb so much of the energy around me. And from people. I hide out in my home. The majority of the time just to keep my peace. I go out in the course of the day and try my best. To not exhort all of the energy that's going on around me. And also I am learning to tell what is my feelings and what I am picking up from someone else.
I feel highly obliged and humbled by the Grace of Almighty God and your magnanimity.
Being an empath or a highly sensitive person isn't a curse. Learn to recognize your 'self' apart from your empathetic side and be brave enough to speak your truth, cause in the end you will be alone and those you need have always been there. Being an empath isn't a fight with narcissists. We are not VICTIMS, be aware of your gifts and use them 'when you want to.' Have a good one. 💜
The woman on the left, Heather, I am exactly the same,an extroverted empath....also a highly sensitive person...I know I don't like isolation or uncertainty the last two years has brought so much of both isolation and uncertainty. I found this presentation so enlightening. Thank you ladies...x💚x
I am feeling a sense of understanding for something I never understood! wow I have a hard time in church with energy that seems out of place and get really uncomfortable. Thanks I'm just learning about myself more and more 70 years later.
Bad energy?
I stopped watching the news in 2010 because I realized I was too sensitive and it stressed me out. People think I don't care but it's that I care too much.
Me too.
Me too...quit watching tv after the GFC.
How many empaths deal with depression and take medication to deal with it.
I think probably many, imho
. 😣😣
Empaths often experience depression because they feel so much and often feel overloaded. Check out the chapter on empaths and emotions in the book
Leona Owen I am an empathy, ; diagnosed with anxiety, bipolar, depression, grief and insomnia. I take medication for issues.
I'm definitely an Empath and have experienced depression but Medication doesn't help the core issues, Sitting with Self and figuring out the healthiest way to process emotions is key
I did and healed without the help of meds.
I am an Emotional Empath :) Here in this world to spread love.
Thank you for sharing this. I just ordered the book. I was always scolded for being too sensitive and too emotional. Now I have a different perspective on sensitivity.
As an Empath myself i would have to leave large crowds and gatherings or sit in a corner quietly put ear phones in to center/steady my self from all the noise and energy firing at me. The more i learn about myself the more pieces of me clicks together, comments that family and friends would say about my character and habits such as being a child and disappearing into a book, not letting people touch me almost like i was guarding myself, being to generous that it was becoming my detriment....it all makes sense now!
Great, thanks much. I read her books over many years and she helps me to live a better life in this loud world and in my job as a mental health professional
Good for you!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Being a empath is a gift
A curse when I was young and didn't know what it was or how too deal with it. Feel much better now.
Thanks this has been very helpful . I've always enjoyed needing my alone time without being lonely. People don't understand it. I am an intuitive empath, always following my gut feeling. I've had this as a child but never understood it. lol, I always would go barefoot on the grass and soft moss for calming down , it feels wonderful to connect to our earth.
Some of these adjectives make sense to me, staying home & quiet helps me. Being around people gives me nervous energy. Going to big stores with lots of stuff is overwhelming. Anything to do with animals makes me either cry or laugh depending on the context. As many of you say, other people don't always understand because they live so easily. I've developed tinnitus, it's the most challenging difficult life changing thing I pray to overcome it. I'm hoping to cultivate some of what you all are contributing.
@@Elodie830 Here's a reframe for You. The sound is a frequency code from Your Higher Self or some benevelent or Divine source, to balance and upgrade mental and genetic coding.
When the tone starts, stop everything gather your attention and and focus on it, accept it as a download and absorb it.
The first time I did this it incrrased slightly in intensity and then stopped after a very short moment as though I had integrated it and received the complete message, so it no longer needed to be transmitted, as opposed to instead trying to block it out, and it having to keep sending, because it's not getting recieved.
It's worth trying, this technique is only new to me, but I couldn't resist sharing as the results have been so good so far.
All the best.
I'm so glad I figured out I was an empath. I thought something was wrong with me, everyone saying I'm too sensitive, which in it's self is a joke!! Look around at our disastrous world and tell me any one is being too sensitive, more like not sensitive ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I so love your attitude!
Yes! The world with it's insensitive pricks is disastrous!
I'm "too nice". I've let people run over me and lost my own identity. Now I'm older and I can work on learning how to filter and how to say no.
I dropped my tears after watching This video 😢. I get everything from this, relatable for me . As an empath now i know my strength ❤ i can manage my empath for the right things. Thank you for your sharing ❤
74yrs old. Thought I was crazy. Couldn't understand why I behaved as I did. Kept asking myself, why am I doing this(stress in fixing situation)? This need to help was overwhelming. This connection to people or animals who I could feel needed me drew me like a magnet. Could, would not walk away from pain. Interesting observation for me, now I know I wasn't wrong, was as a brown person meeting people, being blown away with negative feelings Thank you, feel free
I am a highly sensitive empath .Yes we do exsist..
‘I get filled really easily by happiness’ Love this!
I didn't know why I was the way I was and I didn't know how to explain it to anyone. I thought I was just crazy I had no idea there's a name for it and everything! Wow you have no idea how much coming across this has helped me.
Empaths make great counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists. That intuitiveness really helps heal others.
Good nurses are often empaths as are any healing profession. I found teaching persons with IDD are my favorite people of all. Funny, I had my daughter, Down Syndrome and it was lovely. She developed brain issues like Autism, so she's very different now but I truly understand her and have 5 tons of patience. Most say, how do you do it? To me, it's not that hard if you get them.
I just thought I was nuts, now I know the world infected me with crazy🙄
LOL!!!
Julie I AM ok!!! I use to be sooo anger y’all the time, after quitting my job in 2016 I had time to myself to learn myself. I know realize I was being emotionally drained by my surroundings 😩🤦🏾♀️
HaHa. Amen.
omg why did I did not hear about this before it helped me so much to understand myself why I feel so tired why I don't like to go out as much why I feel so much for other people why I get so hurt when ppl just drop me when I am there for them .... THANK YOU SENDING BIG HUG xxx
Hi Marketa d. Same here. I just realized today that I am an empath. All this time I have been sensitive, feel sad and worry too much for other people. I prefer to stay at home, I like nature, am very concern about recycle activities. I have even been thinking of getting self-employed lately. OMG so glad finally I know myself better.
@@dellmktr4152 that's so true I like to be on my own but at same time with my family don't like crowded places .... when I finish work I am exhausted now I know hahaha xxx
Judith, I never met a psychiatrist as open and sensitive as you. I once told a psychiatrist that it wouldn't hurt if he had a little compassion. He said, you don't need compassion .....that isn't going to help you! I couldn't believe it. I know you say that highly sensitive people who might need medication, the might need a sliver instead of a regular dose. How does a person get balanced when they have PTSD? caused by a lot of trauma? Thanks Dr Judy.
thank you for the beautiful note. Try meditation to open your heart and self-soothe you burdens and stress. /breathe into the sky and the clouds. dissipate your stress that way.
@@vanessabrady6024 Your story is amazing vanessa!! Glad that things did work out for you! Thanks for sharing about your experience with us all here. It really means something to me, I feel I have really suffered too. I also have struggled to find help out there, ughhhh!! Also, how did you find out that you're an "empath"? Are you sure?? 😥😥😥😥
Olivia Cadena - I found out I was an empath about 2 years ago. I’ve always had visions and heard voices that were not mine usually after speaking with a person who was going through trauma or had trauma in their past. I can feel their pain, usually in my chest, like I was having a heart attack. I would be drained after meeting with someone like this., especially if they hadn’t processed their trauma. I would also have visions of memories that didn’t belong to me. One day, while talking with a client I was having a vision of a little boy being slapped by his father and telling him he was worthless. I asked my client if I could share what I was experiencing and he said yes. I told him what I was seeing and hearing and he told me his father would do this to him all the time but never mentioned it because he thought every child went through the same thing. I told him that this is where his depression was stemming from as well as low self esteem. Well, he decided to have a talk with his Father and his Father asked for his forgiveness. My client is doing much better and was able to discontinue his meds. I believe that this closure was needed in order for him to heal. Since then I have started to trust what my body, soul and mind were telling me. I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder when I was 20 because of these voices and visions. I now know that it was not a mental illness but a gift for me to use to help others. The hardest thing to do in my journey was to learn to trust what I was experiencing and rely on my empathy. After I started to trust myself, my gift became more finely tuned. 🙂
@@vanessabrady6024 Hi again!! I just read your reply to me. Thanks so much for sharing it! I now see what you're saying about being very empathetic, or empathic. I hope you continue to be able to help people, and further develop your gift!! Don't let yourself burn out, 😧 either, take care of yourself!!! The world isn't, from my own life experiences, exactly real empath-friendly. I can relate to your experiences, mine have just differed, and I think I must be older than you are. It's all interesting, though. Thanks again Vanessa. Best wishes to you always!!! GBU!! Don't forget too, God loves you! 🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇👍
I can relate to you Mary!! Have really struggled to find good help for myself. Like this Dr says, " we're not just a head". There's allot more to us! Have you found any help as of now? Thanks for sharing . 😇🤗🤗🤗
I'm not the typical empath. I love to go out and socialize but I have to take a break periodically. I can go out by myself, travel by myself, go out to eat by myself because I know I'll meet someone or someone will talk to me. People always find me and talk to me. Being around people doesn't bother me. I do feel restored after a beach trip. I don't like the woods, forest or that type of nature. Only the beach.
A sensitive person is that of who cares and knows what ones feelings are going through.
I am a full empathy and my husband was a narcissist we had a great marriage but I was always tired and had my energy sucked and I use to tell him but not the right way I think I would deal with it diff now because I meditate now . He passed away and I miss him everyday and wish I had the knowledge back then that I have now. Also he was extremely creative but was fully engrossed in his work. Thank you for this talk very educational
You can't have a great marriage with narcissist...they have no empathy...You're mistaken.
I am both introvert and extrovert empath. I love being home alone, and yet if you can get me out, I love being with whomever I am with, even large groups. I have always been amazing with animals too. I love working with horses with emotional issues, its like I can read and fix them. My biggest struggle has been all the emotions on fb 2020-2021. Its been a big struggle. My business is on there so I can’t avoid it. I also get physical pains from some people, my co-worker always seemed to pass me her ailments. haha. Its tricky being an empath. emotional and anxiety, but we can recharge and heal ourselves pretty fast too.
Love the Lady in the middle's knowledge on being empathetic!
This video helps me understand my childhood, I used to hate being an empath, but it's my superpower.
if you meditated in a group sit at the front of the row at the end towards the right hand side this is so you can leave as soon as the session has finished. if i am an empath im a mixed bag a bit of everything the other reason the meditators get excited afterwards and want to ask the teacher question yes intuition is very real i explored this a number of times it appears our inner soul is connected to our being and warns us of approaching danger
THIS VIDEO JUST SAVED MY FAMILY!!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOO UNBELIEVABLY AN EMOTIONAL AND INTUITIVE EMPATH...sorry for all caps I'm just OBVIOUSLY an empath!!!!
Hahaha! Lovely
I come back in here since years because its just feel so fine nice to be connected this virtual empathic way through our experiences in life and environments I feel the most close in here 🧡
So much needed this program, I do a lot for my healing and I get overwhelmed, I really appreciate this talk, thank you 🙏 💕🌷
My hope is that we are able to reach a younger generation so that their lives are not the chaos most of ours were...with the knowledge we have gained through awesome videos like these, we now know how to navigate thru our struggles and enhance our strengths....just think how much stronger we would be and we would have so much more to offer those who's lives we affect...I know my life would have been so much different had i been introduced to empaths and learned these things just as it is now that i do!
This introverted empath is listening to this on a Saturday afternoon (alone, needless to say), while soaking in a candlelit hot bath in advance of a mid-day nap. How appropriate 😉😛
Great information, insights, and wisdom. Fabulous questions too. And Doc...this couldn't have happened without you. Love the suggestion about meditation. I'm grateful we're talking about empathy. My entire life I was told that I was too sensitive instead of being told I had a gift. Thank you everyone I enjoyed this. Namaste
Same here...yes it's a gift for sure. We are gifts to this crooked world.
Im 64 just learned why my life has been as such ... learned im an empath raised by narcissistic parents who called me too sensitive🤔...
Very inspiring to hear this since I am an empath.
I enjoyed watching until 41 mins in when the man asked about online test. Clearly, he is not in tune with himself or empathic because there would be no need for a test. You either are empathic or not. Your an empath, if you heard words like you're too sensitive, you feel too much, I am not feeling that...you feel fine one moment and next your ill or headache, feel exhaust for no reason. The problem with this talk is that the rest of the world does not work for Google and it has become all too common to snap off at people, in the Media and even people running government; or just going to the food store. I am grateful that this was upload by Google but most untrained (in the fact that they don't realize there empathic) want to leave the planet and or so traumatized that they learned to shut down their intuition down, to not see the signs or know the warning signs, because they raised parents, went to school and etc.. who help them to shut down, codep, or out right narcissistic.I have also seen this be generational similar to nacarissic passed to the next lineage. With so much information and disinformation out there find out what works for you and as a struggling empath myself realize there is no quick fix or magic pill, it takes work. You have to find tools that work for you. Dr. Orloff book is only a tool.
Oh my God,yes. The few minutes when the man was asking the question and constantly interrupting and then flashing his knowledge about Myers-Briggs just killed the mood and ambience of the whole talk that I enjoyed until that moment. I can surely say that he has a low empathy. I have seen a lot of guys like him.
My Lord JESUS CHRIST has been and always shall be my mighty counsellor. I need nothing more to walk this earth as an empath.
Well said Rachael they need the lord Jesus it's a deception god bless you
I am an Highly Empathic, Highly Creative HSP. Life is wonderfully intense in all directions.
Being alone is the only way i can unwind . I also like to be alone especially if I'm drawing or writing or even making music. There's a lot of narcissistic people in this world and we can be doormats for them. We have to learn to say No
For me what helps is water, weather it ie taking a shower or drinking it, and places to be alone for a while to recharge myself and get cleansed.
The best thing empaths can do is connect - build a relationship with God/Jesus! I struggled so hard until I reconnected with God/Jesus, we can’t do this on our own! It’s also a gift from God we really just want harmony!
Amen
And Amen!!🎚️
I had the feeling I would love working at Google after watching this speech. It is amazing working in a place you feel comfortable to be creative and productive, knowing people around will respect each other in such a deep level. Also, can't wait to read that book!
OMG!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOOO excited to watch this and hear from Judith. She literally set me free. My weekly therapy did not come close to how Judith’s Book and Audiobook helped set me free
THIS....Explains my LIFE from a child. I can see why I have never fit in overall.
I feel that I’m both! Introvert and extrovert. I need both to function. It’s hard because I feel that I need them at my exact time and it usually doesn’t work like that.
What a beautiful and relaxing talk. Thank you!
I’m a empath, but In the work environment I definitely take on narcissistic elements, because If I don’t, everybody would affect me. Sometimes that makes ppl feel like they are insignificant. But, you can’t be everybody friend. So I see it as a protective measure, a boundary, coping mechanism that I can do perhaps more compassionately.
That doesn't make you narcissistic. Its been assertive...
May Allah bless these woman for being so courageous and for standing up for what’s right. Nobody should be forced to or to not wear a hijab it’s about your personal relationship with Allah
Empaths can be a combination of both introverted AND Extroverted
Because of this we Are far more Balanced Empaths
The pandemic gave Empaths a break but now going back the chaotic energy outside is so stressful.
Agree. Loved the lock down since I felt at peace by not feeling obligated to go outside of home and accomplish things outside of home..
Thank you from this empathic person
OMG I sweat like crazy , drenched !
Her books are fantastic.
This is so wonderful to hear the science, behind the force of insite, and empathy. They called me Dr Dolittle when I was a child, as, I had/have this - trying on - of energy with dogs and horses. The neighborhood kids would mistreat me and and thus isolated me from my peers. Mentors saved my life.
Hahaha, my idea of celebrating my birthday is going to the beach on my own with a good book and a thermo with hot tea.
The questions are so amazing!! Truly shows their quality as google employees.
I'm semi empathetic, but living and an extremely negative toxic environment has dulled it. I'm also extremely intuitive and can see things happening before others do.
This just gave me a massive pain bubble.
And a big relief towards the end. Nice
Dr. Orloff- you truly saved my life! Thank You
I feel so discouraged sometimes because i can feel happy and peaceful and then my mom or one of my daughters feels upset or depressed and then i do even though we don't even live together. I go through this process of trying to figure out why i feel so down then i find out it's one of them. I can't seem to just say oh this isn't mine and detach from their feelings until i find out it is actually one of them.
Also the intro needs core work done from what I have observed. Often times unable to project the voice, maybe shaky sounding. So def yoga can be useful for both intro and Extros! Sing! So glad I found this panel! This is awesome! Thanks for the space!
Just by the title and the first few minutes into the video, I'd say everyone is an empath.
Where are u from?
Me and my daughter feel others feelings and know their thoughts. It can be really difficult for us. We protect ourselves with Reiki. It takes a lot of it away thank goodness
