In this enlightening episode of The HEAL Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Judith Orloff, a renowned psychiatrist, New York Times bestselling author, and an empath who has been called the "godmother of the empath movement." Dr. Orloff and I delve into the profound powers of empathy, drawing from her latest book, The Genius of Empathy, which offers practical, action-driven guidance for connecting our minds and hearts to embody our most authentic, fierce, and compassionate selves, while simultaneously teaching us how to not fall prey to energy vampires.  Join us as we journey through the fascinating realms of empathy, self-care, and emotional intelligence. From exploring the various types of empathy to navigating challenging relationships and establishing healthy boundaries, Dr. Orloff shares invaluable insights and practical tools for empaths to thrive in today's complex world. We also dive into sensitive topics like toxic relationships, narcissism, and the significance of forgiveness. Dr. Orloff illuminates the transformative potential of empathy in fostering unity and healing in our fragmented world, highlighting how each of us can make a positive impact through empathic engagement. Whether you're seeking guidance as an empath or simply intrigued by the power of empathy, this episode offers something for everyone.
