Remember, "no" is a complete sentence. Set kind but firm boundaries. But do it!
Thank you life has got worse since this video mas made im so tired
I have to be alone to regain my energy and hate loud noises.
empathy is so beautiful. it allows you to feel deep compassion for people and experience life deeply.
we sponges must stick together!
I zone out when people are excessively laughing and talking. It drains me within minutes.I can't get a word in edgewise if they'd just close their mouth for 5 seconds.
I've experienced all of what she said, the discomfort in crowds, being able to smell things other's can't, intolerance of loud voices and so on. I love being alone, it's the only time I feel myself, and feel peaceful. I can stay in a bar for just so long, then suddenly I HAVE to leave! I wanted to add, I feel that we can be sensitive not only to living beings around us, but to those beings we cannot see, as well (ghosts). I do meditate, and spend alot of time alone.
Your video was very helpful to me. As a psychiatrist, I also used to pick up energies from other people. Now, I'm practicing about 5 minutes of mindful meditation after work at home. It's really amazing how you can recharge energy in such a short time. Thanks! Namasté.
I'm a couples and family therapist, and I think I may have started to burn out very quickly last year when I worked with addictions clients. I thought I wasn't cut out for the work, despite loving the work I do with my clients. But it's hard, between hearing their difficult stories and then dealing with staff who have their own issues. Do you have any other advice? Also, how do you handle being overcome with emotion and negative energy in the moment, such as in a therapy session or dealing with an overly anxious or critical supervisor/colleague?
Thank you, Dr. Orloff, for posting this...I've been this way my whole life, and have always been told "you're too sensitive!" until it was coming out of my ears! I felt very poorly about myself for way too long, thinking there was something wrong with me, since the people around me were all extroverted chatterboxes. I was always the odd person out. Now I accept myself as someone who would rather sit quietly, alone, and not be forced to be among energy draining people who exhaust me.
This happens to me alot ! I've always been very sensitive.
When I go to school I use public transport. If there are a lot of people, I'll be exhausted by the time I get there.
I start to feel really tired and nauseous.
Lately, I've been ' protecting ' myself by trying to close myself off everything around me (: It really helps!
I have the same problem and now use coarse salt in my bath water and this is helping me at the moment to take off the pressure
me also thanks for knowing more empaths
Yep, my mom used to always tell me I was "too sensitive". It used to make me feel very bad!! Now in my early 30's, I am finally recognizing and appreciating what I am. I've learned too, that if someone doesn't appreciate your sensitivity, you need to move on.
Thank you for explaining who I am
Dr. Orloff, I am crying right now. You have just voiced me to a "t." I have every quality you just articulated...even to the point of being told by a parent, since childhood, that I'm "overly sensitive." I'm always told by my husband that I need to "set boundaries" and that I don't have to be everyone's best friend, feel their feelings, and have a deep, deep connection 24-7.
I'm shaking right now I'm identifying with this so.
Have a lot of compassion with yourself and gently keep on keeping on.
This resonates with me SO much. It helped me to quit a job that I just started a week ago. And more importantly to know that my sensitivity is actually a gift is great. I always thought something was wrong with me. And if I was in a room with low or "bad" energy I always felt like something was wrong with me for wanting to lift the energy. I know it's a boundry thing and it's about being selective of where I go and -bluntly-minding my own business sometimes.
I just bought your book today. I’m so relieved that I’m finally going to find out more and learn how to not only just cope with all of these issues anymore but how t help with all of these issues of being an empath. ❤️
Thank you Judith, I used to be as you so eloquently described an empath until I discovered Reiki and chakra shielding. It used to be impossible for me to socialise or visit crowded places, but now I'm immune to people stealing my energy.
This is very important: Practice the 3 minute meditation I suggest in Positive Energy in Chapter 2 throughout the day. I use it all the time. It allows you to do mini-refuels and centering, which builds stamina an resiliance. I think I may have it on my website too.
my pleasure. I love YT. I love sharing what I know in this videos and I'm so happy they are getting such a warm reception. thank u for sharing them with your community!
Currently finishing up the last chapter of your book, just wanted to express how thankful I am that this information is available. I immediately returned to this reading after a short meltdown I was having about feeling shitty because my tendencies to indulge and being tempted to binge. On pg 208, you wrote about saying "yes" to honoring our sensitivities and by this we are saying "no" to patterns of abuse, neglect and addiction. 100% what I needed to hear. Very touching and somehow I know I was suppose to read it. That somehow turning to something that grounds me was the right course of action. But who knows... maybe it was all a coincidence. 😉
Ditto to this comment. I'd forgotten about all of this, and thankfully have been reminded in several gentle ways today. Very happy to have been referred to this site and to you Judith. oxo
Oh, I'm so glad I came across you this evening. Thank you for sharing your insight. I happen to identify with it. I'm not considered an introvert at all on the outside because I'm friendly. The inside is sensitive and where my caregiving becomes one mandating boundaries , like you say. You're "just what the doctor ordered" and so I hope to hear / see you again as I subscribe to your RUclips channel. Thanks again.
Judith, I wnet to the library yesterday to get your book & this was after another incident of picking up a persons emotions. I was feeling horrible since now it has skyrocked to about 2x's a week. I decided I'd keep my eyes on the car in front of me & not glance at 1 person. I accidently did but didn't pick up anything. I was so happy! I think if I had gotten so paranoid w/ the empathy thing hitting me out of the blue like this & increasing. I've already started reading the book. Thanks so much!
74yrs old. Now I know. Feel free, and understand why I did, and felt, what I did in life. Many people and animals have benefited from meeting me. Thank you, am listening, crying and smiling.
I love almost all of your quotes. Especially, "how not to get overwhelmed by an insensitive world." Ahhh
Simple yet offers soooo much clarity. You're enlightenment and play on words with each topic is magnificent! Thank you for your contribution. Be Blessed
thank you for this wonderful reminder on how to take care! also helpful for empaths who don't realize they are and helpful insight for friends to understand the sensitivities of an empath and why that alone time is necessary and restorative.
I have been told so many times that I am overly sensitive, like it was a very negative thing. It's really nice to hear that being sensitive is a good thing and I now know how I can still be this way, my true self, while protecting myself and setting boundaries. This helps a lot...looking forward to learning more about this subject. :)
I can relate. I always try to take my car places so I can make a quick exit if need be. Spending more than three hours with most people, even with those I love can start to feel like to much. And that's fine. I've learned to honor this, not put myself down, and care for myself! Loving friends understand.
I love your wisdom and insight, I've recently learnt that I have certain gifts. Thank you for saying you believe sensitivity is a positive trait, for a long time I believed it was a bad attribute of mine but now I feel very differently, my son is also like this and I no longer see this as negative, but it is a huge positive for him.
Yes, Yes, Yes. This video is about me. Thank-you Judith for speaking and helping me, and others, through your knowledge. I for one appreciate you very much. Angel :)
Thank you Dr. Orloff, I heard you today at Topical Currents' show at WLRN in Miami. It was a pleasure hearing you. I signed for the 8-week online course, and looking forward to read your book and review it for the readers of my blog as well. Thank you.
you are a beautiful man to talk about your intuitive empathy so openly. thankyou.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Exactly what I needed to see/hear right now Judith. Thank you. Shared on Fb.. Blessings Judith
Thank you for sharing; this is very helpful.
Thank you Ms.Orloff,
I went home and burst into tears yesterday I could not stop crying
I’m so exhausted from working with people with so negative 😣
I feel my soul is tired
Well, now I FINALLY know what's been going on w/me all my life. You've been such a great help to me, Judith, that I recommend everyone watch your videos and decide for themselves. I will be buying your book, for I feel that it will help me in so many ways. Thank you so much. BE peace!
WOW !! Not only do I identify with these comments I REALLY identify with them. Its unreal! Thank you so much for these tools !
Thank you so much for your generosity and wisdom. This is important information for all of us.
Everything you said is me to a tee... when you mentioned the car thing I almost rolled out of bed laughing🤣... I always take my own car... it makes some people crazy... but I have to have the ability to get out of overwhelming negative energy situations if I have too... such great insight... thank you❣️🌷
Thanks Judith. I've a friend whom after months listening to her complains & then told her to stop talking about them, it got me exhausted.She couldn't understand anything, and i've also sent her your videos.Often she would agree with what i said, but 3 days later,back to her complaints.
Wow Judith I knew I was empathic but hearing you mention chattering & loud people and also the 'always having your own car' are huge synchros for me. Thank you! My right ear even started ringing as I was watching this LOL
Fantastic that you know you can take action and do something about it. You're a wonderful person too.
I've always known this about myself...
Since the pandemic, I'm now reclusive. I've even changed my phone number to just silence unnecessary calls.
I've never felt more peaceful OR joyful!
Dr Orloff, I heard your voice on the radio today, here in Miami, at Joseph Cooper's "Topical Currents" show. I am a volunteer for WLRN. It was a pleasure hearing you explain such a fascinating topic. I signed up for the 8 week online course and looking forward to read and review "Second Sight" for my friends that read my blog.
TY, Dr. Orloff. I am also an empath and have found that another thing that needs addressing is a way to prevent other people's energy from hijacking and influencing your actions. This can be recognized when we find ourselves doing things that are just not us. I keep a protection around myself to counteract this, and it works, although, nothing can counteract judgments of others.
This came at the right time. Thank you.
You are so welcome. It is indeed a revelation to find out that you are an empath! Positive Energy goes into this in detail.
just love this! Thank you Dr. Orloff!
Thank you Dr. Judith, you are awesomeI have learned so much from your videos.
your sensitivity is a great gift!
I am really grateful that you are posting some of the tips and tricks found in your first books for self-preservation, and for the books themselves, which contain more interesting bits of information!)
It is also wonderful to be able to share them further through my personal website and of course, e-mails. :) Thanks for your generosity in putting all these vids up for EVERYONE to access! You are such a mensch!
Thank you for this short video. Like you I find crowds (depending on the location) can be overwhelming. I not only pick up energy from others but also can feel if they are ill. Just standing in line in a grocery store behind someone with negative energy has made me tired. At 46 I am still working on this. Knowing that other people experience the same things, crave alone time etc is very helpful. Namaste
So glad you enjoyed Second Sight and this vid. It is a pleasure sharing this info on YT. I love this community!
it's a balance. listen to your intuitive needs each day and set kind but firm boundaries when needed. nice to meet you!
I get dizzzy too sometimes from the sheer force of the barrage of words. Nice that we can say "goodbye" and find a quiet, peaceful place to regain our peace.
Thanks Judith, I am an empath, in my field we call that "interjection" or swallowing other peoples energy in an attempt at healing. The energy is not the problem it is knowing how to let it go and also how to extend yourself so that you are in a giving and recieving relationship.
This is excellent. Thank you. It's good to be validated.
Great work! We can be compassionate without absorbing the pain of others.
Yes I am very sensitive. It is true what you say. Then my protection is be alone to charge me again. Thank you for this great contribution Judith. Hugs
Thanks for that, this was 100% me. It has taken me many years to learn how to protect myself, and every day I need to remember not to let people get "into" me. Especially the low energy types. Thanks again!
Thankyou so much! i am this person who needs to get home to recharge. it just feels so good to hear someone say that it is OK.
Fantastic!!! Thanks so much for sharing this...you are Awesome!!!
This is a great video!
You are right on the button Dr Orloff. I love your work. So perfect for me - I'm exactly as you describe :-) Love listening to you. Thank you so much.
YES too all the questions...nice to hear others who understand...over the years I've learned ways to manage it in positive ways such as painting...music...prayer....Thank you for the video and book...!
I'm so excited to see and listen to her presentation at the Womens Wellness Conference this weekend!!! :)
I watched this video and notice i possess almost all the qualities you use to describe the intuitive empath.
thank you for helping me realize this and for the great tips!
I so agree with you...! I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one feeling this way...I too had abusive parents have to constantly isolate myself to recover, after being surrounded by a lot of people
setting kind but firm boundaries is a sacred action. so important.
Thanks Dr. Orloff. Namaste
love you Judith. I wish you were more prevalent in the community
You are unbelievable. I am 43. A friend says I am empathic. I didn't know what that meant so I looked it up & the personality traits matched up. You have described things I have always done:
how are you doing now after all these years?
thanks for reminding me to transmute negative energy. your energy is beautiful.
I find your explanations very truthful. I´ve been experiencing periods of extreme fatigue, and I think it has something to do with the fact that I´m an extremely sensitive person and I tend to absorb many people´s negativity, but I wasn´t aware of this till I listened to this video of yours.
Good video. Lots to think about not only in terms of us being this type, but others around us who also are. Thanks.
I'm convinced that absorbing other people's negativity is a big factor in substance abuse. Many people in recovery are what I call "intuitive empath," a phenomenon I describe in my book Positive Energy. This is very real and overlooked in traditional medicine.
Thank you for this valuable info. I always thought there was something wrong with me. I am so affected by everything emotionally and it IS draining. I feel better knowing I am not alone. I especially am the type that retreats to my home to recharge and feel centered.
brilliantly put!
Great tips. I'm an intuitive empath in a major way. I practice these things regularly.
Trust your intuition. Surround yourself with a bubble of love. Thanks for your great insights.
THANKS for posting this!! I think this lady secretly follows me around all day!!! She is right-on for me!
This is so good, just dealing with that and learning how to keep my self clean.
Love your work!
Thank you for your work. A deep chackra hug.
thank you Dr Orloff
All this resonates with me. Thank you, Judith.
You have touched my heart with your openness. I'm so happy you related to this video. Check out chapter 1 and 3 of Positive Energy for more info too.
im so happy to subscribe in your channel judith now i can explore more of my kinds
Thank you, very insightful x
Very helpful info, Judith! Thanks for offering some simple steps for how to handle this effectively.
Amazing! Great advice.
Very well put, i found your video to be just what i needed to hear and answered to what i was feeling today and many other times. guided by my intuition to your video. Thankyou love!
Wow I answered yes to all these. I thought something was wrong with me all these years. Thanks Judith
As I learned or it came naturally to me as an empath was listening to the music - tone of the voice I am listening to. Of all the videos I have watched concerning protecting empaths I have never heard what came to me naturally and it was listening to the tone of the voice. I guess listening to old songs has helped me tremendously.
wow, yes. I love Casteneda's teachings.
Thank you for sharing, wonderful tips for us sensitive people. I am so grateful for this gift and I honor it everyday. : )
Great job!
Definitely going to buy your books 💝💫
wonderful,...thank you.
wow, hit me right on the head.. i needed this reminder.. thank you!
Thanks for this video on empaths, so many people are confused about it!
