Omggggg! Thank you , Thank you and many blessings. Listening to this just brakes my heart. As I myself know it and have been told by a few empaths themselves, that I am too an emotional empath. I have lived a life with emotional pain and hiding from those who claim to love me “ My own immediate family”. I deal with others energy, n it’s like a freaking cycle. It’s a scary place and subject to share with family members, who thinks you are going nuts and everyone seclude you from the sister’s group text and family events are is an agony for me. I’ve dealt with depression n now anxiety for years. I figured it was in the family tree from my mom’s side n my adulthood years have been a nightmare. I’ve called myself a vampire at times, a night creature because I have sleeping issues n I prefer nights than a sunny day. I prefer rain over a sunny beach day. I prefer to deal with animals , something I wasn’t raised around. I used to fear and still fear many others ( reptiles, other bugs but I e become a dog’s lover. I feel their energy. I can read what’s inside at times and there is a special connection with dogs n I. Right now , I’m going through a very dark moment in my life. I am physically and emotionally drained. How do you explain to your kids, sisters, own husband what is happening inside? I dared to open up to a sister, for the first time.... next thing I knew.... My family, along with my husband and grown adults children had a “ Family intervention for me and demanding I seek psychiatric/Therapist because THEY think I’m losing my mind. This is the worst it has happened to me. I’m so hurt by my family lack of trust and communication with me. I am criticize because I am Not the same extrovert /happy butterfly I was and not to say “ Most popular n high for my bubbly personality, my smile. For staying to myself, for enjoying animals more than people. For walking up to a wolf /dog in a parking lot n hugging him... of course; I asked the owner if I could pet him. A pit-bull dog showed up at my door and I looked into his eyes and our souls made contact. I embraced the dog and now I am the talk of the family. I know for sure for sure it’s not sensitive, is beyond. I grief strangers deaths, Murders, I can feel things n see visions.... this is new to me and it’s such a frightening experience. I beg God to please take this curse away. I’m tired of mourning and going into depression when I hear the news. I stopped watching tv for a year, except Netflix. There have been Murder cases where I find myself trying to brake the case . This is horrible and is affecting my family, my relationship with kids and husband. I had a talk with my husband n spent enough time, one on one and he was able to see me. Normal, just dealing with this whatever it is, that I don’t know what to do with it. He apologize for not communicating with me, on my family’s future plans for me. He really feels bad n apologizes often, but it’s something new and is getting stronger with time. I don’t know what else to do. So I made an appointment to a psychiatrist to please my family, but what do I tell this Doctor? I am afraid if I tell exactly what’s happening to me, I would end up where n I just don’t know if this subject is even treated or has a psychological explanation. I have kept to myself since I found out and I really feel betrayed by my immediate family. They k ow nothing about this subject. So, now I avoid family gatherings, groups, friends and don’t answer my phone. The first thing is “ Did you call a psychotherapist??? Trust me, I’m not ashamed of the stigma if I need psychiatric/psychological help. The stigma don’t scare me from going, but is it ok for me to feel betrayed? Please guys give me your opinions and Doctor. As you explained, I was raised in a dysfunctional home where my father was addicted to alcoholism and my mother was an instigator. I grew up in a world of fears, negligence ( I feel) because I think those domestic/alcohol violence in the home created this I am experiencing and now , I am wrong. My sisters say I’m too sensitive, I need a life outside this polluted world ( I’m very choosy in selecting my circle of friends. I avoid conversations, but is all because of what I’m feeling inside. Too much. I started meditating n it helps me somewhat. But what do I do? Turn away or play their games??? They laugh at me when I bring the subject” Empath” ..... I’m I alone here??????????
When I see someone who is hiding their self-doubt in a public setting... it is like seeing a car wreck in slow motion. Seeing a person struggle is the worst. You just want them to feel even 5% better.
I just started reading your book. Just a first page and I am in tears, allowing all the sensations in my body, especially around the heart and stomach to arise freely.... at 64 I didn't know I was an empath now everything started to make sense... Thank you so much ... I will read and listen with an open heart and mind.

I have read many of the EMPATHS in the comments. I am an empath too. It's difficult to disconnect from others SPECIALLY when you feel what they are feeling. I have learned to disconnect and observe. I always felt like my job was to save people. I now know it's not my job to save people. I used to feel bad when I didn't help. I do not now. It feels heartless, but if you don't tend to your connection, you have nothing to offer. Non EMPATHS are not trying to help and fix things. Why must we fix things. We can guide or even assist ANOTHER, but when one is in pain and feeling extreme bad about another and self you are no longer helping. You take others power away and their right to do it for themselves. I say alot it's not my job to fix their problem and I do not give my power. I also intend when I go anywhere or speak to anyone, so I don't get caught up in their intentions or drama. I am EXTROVERT mostly, but become deliberately introvert when I wish to recharge my energy. I am more discerning who I help and where I give my attention to. I also know what my true feelings are and emotions. I do my visualizing and change my vibrations unpurpose therefore disconnecting from the energy or frequency flowing to me. It's a wonderful feeling when you are in charge of your feelings. Does it mean a go out around alot of people no. I don't go to the beach or concerts. I prefer small stores. I do speak to many people in public since I'm a social butterfly. I can see and hear beyond my comprehension. Very little slips my viewing. I know when someone is trying to deceive me with their words. I can't be deceived I just know. Period. Very important for EMPATHS not to get so involved in others experience, it's not of our business. EMPATHS think all is their business and they must help somehow or fix it. Not your job. Your job is to connect to your source and make sure the energy is flowing unhampered. Do I have all the answers for everyone no. This is my experience and what I've learned. From the perspective of not knowing what was wrong with me and feeling crazy and skitsophrenic and suicidal. To learning by accident over 6 years ago what I was, by the way it was a DEVINE intervention. Then I had a word for it. Empath. I am a strong and powerful empath and strong minded. People can be uncomfortable with me if they are hiding something. They know I know and I can be very piercing through their energy. I have high levels of energy and hyper sensitive. I have also become more discerning. Each empath most know there worth and know we are in charge of how we feel. We got the power and we ddecide who we let in. We are not weak ot vulnerable. We came to uplift and guide to a point not to fix a broken world. The world is not broken and doesn't need saving. When you an empath stand strong in what your ability is and what you are here for and what you are not here for, things get better. Remember the secret of the UNIVERSE is minding your own business. Also if your action uplifts you and the other, you are on the correct path for you. I am the only empath where I live. I never metANOTHER empath, except on social media. I also thought I was alone and I also wished to go back to my planet of origin. I don't belong here. Most don't understand me and I have accepted that notion. I no longer try to fit in, I let them fit into me. I know I'm weird or odd or unusual and unique and special and extraordinary being. Not concerned of others view of me. I hold my own counsel and validation. I seek the approval that comes from within, which in reality is the only one you may trust.💜
Thank you. I finally found someone who understands me. I’m an empath and I thought I was the only one who felt like this. I felt like I was from a different planet and never connect with people on earth. I resonate with this so much.
I'm an Empath to the max......It's torturous and exhausting...And I'm always wondering how I ended up on this planet.....and also, wished I could go back to my planet....which would have to be more sane and less HARSH....Yikes! Thank you for this video! Perfect!
I feel the exact same way! As if your words came straight from my mouth. I've said those exact same words before. It is exhausting isn't it? I'm an empath to the extreme as well. So much so that I can't hardly get out of my house
Catherine Kitty Kat and Songs out of silence.... It is scary out there. I have 3 teens that scare me even more just knowing that they're out there and cause more anxiety. Oh course they don't mean to. but if they get hurt by a friend or they're sad or they say something that might just barely hurt my feelings or should just barely hurt my feelings, I just freaking end up just crying right there on the spot. If they hurt I definitely hurt I'm too damn sensitive. I have been studying a little bit with this guy named win Vaughn and he can teach you mindfulness, meditation, e law of attraction, the secret, breathing techniques, etc. He is absolutely amazing. He's so in touch with himself that he can control what his body does with his mind. He was in ice water for 2 hours and doesn't have any fear. He actually got frostbite so bad that the doctors said that they had to amputate both of his legs and he told the doctors, "Nah I got this, I'll just heal myself". And he did. He has 27 world records and Scientists and doctors are baffled. So basically we were not born with fear it was learned and if we know this and we believe this then we don't have to have anxiety we don't have to hide we don't have to do this ourselves. He's actually putting on some free classes if you want more info cuz I'm definitely doing it. I'm losing all of my friends and family because I won't get out of my house much, my kids are mad at me because I'm not working and things aren't going well so I'm going to learn from this guy and in im gonna shine! I'm sick of living in fear
Sara H, you are amazing for allowing yourself to feel all these emotions, and being proactive in your journey to free yourself of fear. I feel everything the same way, and would love to learn more if you can please share any links that are helping you. Thank you and remember you are definitely not alone!
@@chiquitabee1 I can completely relate to that feeling all too well, but I can also say personally the more I open up the more I am able to both give and receive. I share a lot about my own struggles in the hope it will help others to not feel alone, no matter where we may be with location we are all tied together somehow. Do you mind me asking why you feel so alone? I would normally not ask this of someone whom I can't view a pic to help me or hear your voice but my phone has a very broken screen so I didn't click on your pic, but when I have tried helping others it was at my old job, I worked the drive thru at our local A&W and I was incredibly blessed to have met so many amazing people and I can say it really felt good to not just give them their food but I was genuinely able to help others not feel alone even if I was.
@@chiquitabee1 I'm not sure if you live in an area where it's warm or cold but if it's warm have you tried going outside barefoot and putting you feet in the grass or sand? And if it's cold I personally look to the sky because for me I have found the most beautiful things and images and feelings there.
Growing up a empath, i was told to supress it, i was told was to sensative being a male and in the south, and to shake it off.I feel everyones energy, and pain, its sometimes confusing what is yore emotion, or residue of others.But it puts you in other ones shoes, we should encourage this instead
Welcome to my world. Dealing with a bunch of nuts who needs to educate themselves on this matter and stop n take a look at their lives and themselves before making a psychological assessment on you. My beloved family!
Thank you Judith. I have struggled with these gifts for so long. I am exhausted. I know there is hope for all of us struggling. Our light is needed so badly. I appreciate you. My friends call me mountain.
Embracing being an Empath is what we need as an Empath.. I was borne that way. As for my childhood and parents I do not look at it as how I was raised..!we are all on this journey of life s
I have realized I was an empath after I divorced my narcissistic ex husband and how I ever stayed with him for 18 years and had my 3 kids with him and I have lost both my parents and it’s really helped me realize how much of an empath I am.
Thank you so much. I can hear the passion and emotion in your voice. It has been hard being different. You learn early to hide it. Unfortunately. Some people cannot handle being around an Empath. I guess it is hard for some to be known. I have found it especially hard when someone is lying to you and denying it. The emotions seem to cloud me then. But it makes my stomach upset. I just know.... sometimes it almost drives me crazy when I "feel" something then not told the truth. It's like I HAVE to know and understand why I am feeling that way. Whew. This video has helped me so much. I really feel I am here to help. Help what or how I don't know. But at 50, it's time to be me and find out! :) I was told not long ago that it is an Ego thing to think you are special and an Empath. Ouch. I was only starting to admit it to myself at that point. You have helped with that little guilt too. I do believe I can use this to help others and I want to. Thank you again. Truly, thank you. (I know I need to heal me and release others energies/emotions/vibrations for me to heal. Trying to learn how to do that. It is what lead me to your video.) Oh - and I wonder if anyone else gets a kind of connection with their partner..... so you can sometimes "feel" if they have strong emotions even when they are not with you?
to let you know Male persons have this as well. I speak for myself, society in the old days (I am 65) it was highly frowned upon. I have been told to develop thicker skin. Comparison's to others and adopted others ego's and persona's just to survive. I know how to think, still scared to be my own self. Ladies you male partner, may be an Empath. thanks Dr. Orloff. I also discovered empathy hang around narcissists because of money, and most narcissists came from being empaths.
Hope you can still see this comment as this was made 4 years ago. Wow this is amazing my whole life I have struggled like you and only now trying to understand it this video made me cry as it’s exactly what I have and have always needing someone to explain it and tell me that I am not just crazy lol who can I speak too through msg as I gave a lot of questions and need a little help to understand things I am experiencing is there any groups for empaths ?
I am just learning about this at 57 and I’m sorry but I can truly say I hate being an empath. Loving all these years without knowing has caused irreparable damage. If I would have had just one counselor or anyone making me aware of this back in my twenties, I could maybe have done something with it. Instead I have been victimized over and over again to where I don’t let anyone in. There is too much damage. And before anyone goes with the “don’t play a victim” look up the difference between being a victim and being victimized.
Can it be blocked, i dont read,watch news, watch movies éven commerials hurt,even art and a lot of music,all I have left is my kids.i want to close eyes ears and mouth,and not let the mirror of truth and fears .
"Empaths feel things first, then think." The question is what the sources of the feelings are, so ordinary people's feelings come from their own inner states, while empaths also gain feelings from others around them, or perhaps the entire world? I wondered like the people during Nazi Germany at a Hitler rally - what affect did Hitler have on the people? Perhaps ordinary people also absorb the feelings of others in large groups. But surely a self-aware empathy at such a rally would probably feel sickened by that mob energy, and wouldn't feel energized like the people who are more asleep to what's affecting them.
I can say I am NOT an empath because I do have the ability to put up inner barriers to protect myself, while the nature of those barriers are unclear, but basically a stepping back, disassociating myself from feelings while still (hopefully!) aware of them. It is harder to do this when I'm not alone where at most I'm taking in, but not well processing what I'm feeling/experiencing, and maybe then I have to physically retreat after a time, so probably this is all just being an introvert. But on sensitivity, for me this means even small experiences I don't understand might take days or weeks or even years of trying to integrate those experiences in wider memory. I've thought this integration/deprocessing is about letting different archetypal voices experience it through me, and tell me their interpretations and then my job is to bring them all together into some greater whole. My men's group talked of the "Awareness wheel" that started from - observations (senses) -> evaluation/interpretation (thinking) --> inner reaction (feeling) --> outer reaction (action). That sequence is intended to suggest it can be our own thinking that defines our feelings rather than the initial sensory input. Perhaps the advantage of an empath is that he/she goes directly from senses to feelings, without the distortions from the thinking/judging mind? It makes sense the thinking mind is a filter, and assigns words like GOOD and BAD to experience, which is helpful in reacting, but not necessarily accurate. That is our "defenses" not only protect us, but change how we see the world, and what parts of the world can affect us. Like a person with PTSD gets a "DANGER!" signal that may be inaccurate at present, while accurate to a past experience that wasn't deprocessed well. So at present reacts as if there is real danger and can cause more problems and real danger, like someone who runs or drives at high speeds away from police.
People who are compassionate feel with others. Society as a whole have lost their compassion. It is a shame we now have to categorize compassion into a small group of people called "empaths".
How to be a balanced ,happy empath she says,hahaha. That's not the normal, everyday ex.of a real empath. We all are aware we have had or are having suicidal thoughts. It looks much like bi polar! How many gonna rejoice in bi polar? I'm an empath poster child who just did prison time. Check your sensitivity quick or die. That's the world. Pain is all I know. I have a few bright spots here and there. I tell you what happy empaths and those desiring. TAKE MINE! I LOATHE IT. ITS A NIGHTMARE! KISS IT GOODBYE,your hopes ,dreams , ambition, forget- it! Embracing my empath? May as well tell me embrace the darkness. Welcome to isolation,ostrzation,self loathing, overwhelming sense of worthlessness of all things. Bye crowds,bye social life. We have not even began. Figure out how to take anothers's ( blessing) super empathy- I FREELY VOLUNTEER MY OWN,TAKE IT. I WILL PAY YOU! Can't believe there's a name for this nor that it's being glorified. TO BE AN EMPATH IS TO BE A LIVING CURSE! I SAID IT! To be a real empath is to be CURSED! No playing games here. This the truth. Don't dare call me neg.for simply reading off a list of facts.

I share a lot about my own struggles in the hope it will help others to not feel alone, no matter where we may be with location we are all tied together somehow. Do you mind me asking why you feel so alone? I would normally not ask this of someone whom I can't view a pic to help me or hear your voice but my phone has a very broken screen so I didn't click on your pic, but when I have tried helping others it was at my old job, I worked the drive thru at our local A&W and I was incredibly blessed to have met so many amazing people and I can say it really felt good to not just give them their food but I was genuinely able to help others not feel alone even if I was.
@@chiquitabee1 I'm not sure if you live in an area where it's warm or cold but if it's warm have you tried going outside barefoot and putting you feet in the grass or sand? And if it's cold I personally look to the sky because for me I have found the most beautiful things and images and feelings there.
A simple straight thank you. This is us.
With light of love thank you from all my heart!!!!
I AM
Growing up a empath, i was told to supress it, i was told was to sensative being a male and in the south, and to shake it off.I feel everyones energy, and pain, its sometimes confusing what is yore emotion, or residue of others.But it puts you in other ones shoes, we should encourage this instead
Welcome to my world. Dealing with a bunch of nuts who needs to educate themselves on this matter and stop n take a look at their lives and themselves before making a psychological assessment on you. My beloved family!
You give me hope
Thank you Judith. I have struggled with these gifts for so long. I am exhausted. I know there is hope for all of us struggling. Our light is needed so badly. I appreciate you. My friends call me mountain.
Thank you. This was a wonderful book.
Hi, thanks for your honesty and open mind
Embracing being an Empath is what we need as an Empath.. I was borne that way. As for my childhood and parents I do not look at it as how I was raised..!we are all on this journey of life s
I have realized I was an empath after I divorced my narcissistic ex husband and how I ever stayed with him for 18 years and had my 3 kids with him and I have lost both my parents and it’s really helped me realize how much of an empath I am.
Thanks for the spaceship !
Thank you so much. I can hear the passion and emotion in your voice. It has been hard being different. You learn early to hide it. Unfortunately. Some people cannot handle being around an Empath. I guess it is hard for some to be known. I have found it especially hard when someone is lying to you and denying it. The emotions seem to cloud me then. But it makes my stomach upset. I just know.... sometimes it almost drives me crazy when I "feel" something then not told the truth. It's like I HAVE to know and understand why I am feeling that way. Whew. This video has helped me so much. I really feel I am here to help. Help what or how I don't know. But at 50, it's time to be me and find out! :) I was told not long ago that it is an Ego thing to think you are special and an Empath. Ouch. I was only starting to admit it to myself at that point. You have helped with that little guilt too. I do believe I can use this to help others and I want to. Thank you again. Truly, thank you. (I know I need to heal me and release others energies/emotions/vibrations for me to heal. Trying to learn how to do that. It is what lead me to your video.) Oh - and I wonder if anyone else gets a kind of connection with their partner..... so you can sometimes "feel" if they have strong emotions even when they are not with you?
Thank youuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!
I relate
to let you know Male persons have this as well. I speak for myself, society in the old days (I am 65) it was highly frowned upon. I have been told to develop thicker skin. Comparison's to others and adopted others ego's and persona's just to survive. I know how to think, still scared to be my own self. Ladies you male partner, may be an Empath. thanks Dr. Orloff. I also discovered empathy hang around narcissists because of money, and most narcissists came from being empaths.
Amen!
I was raised during the era that if you were sensitive and you cried someone said to you " Stop crying , I'll give you something to cry about."
How do you know? You have studied well. Thank you.waiting to be transported to my real home... makes me smile with a relief. 🤗 my daughter is one.
Brilliant work! Keep it up!
Por favor, tiene algun libro o audio en Spain? Le estaria muy agradecida.
We are all we need. Xoxo
Hope you can still see this comment as this was made 4 years ago. Wow this is amazing my whole life I have struggled like you and only now trying to understand it this video made me cry as it’s exactly what I have and have always needing someone to explain it and tell me that I am not just crazy lol who can I speak too through msg as I gave a lot of questions and need a little help to understand things I am experiencing is there any groups for empaths ?
I am just learning about this at 57 and I’m sorry but I can truly say I hate being an empath. Loving all these years without knowing has caused irreparable damage. If I would have had just one counselor or anyone making me aware of this back in my twenties, I could maybe have done something with it. Instead I have been victimized over and over again to where I don’t let anyone in. There is too much damage. And before anyone goes with the “don’t play a victim” look up the difference between being a victim and being victimized.
In my personal case I have the resentment of being mistreated in my childhood, that make me loose my empath as an adult today...
Can it be blocked, i dont read,watch news, watch movies éven commerials hurt,even art and a lot of music,all I have left is my kids.i want to close eyes ears and mouth,and not let the mirror of truth and fears .
"Empaths feel things first, then think." The question is what the sources of the feelings are, so ordinary people's feelings come from their own inner states, while empaths also gain feelings from others around them, or perhaps the entire world? I wondered like the people during Nazi Germany at a Hitler rally - what affect did Hitler have on the people? Perhaps ordinary people also absorb the feelings of others in large groups. But surely a self-aware empathy at such a rally would probably feel sickened by that mob energy, and wouldn't feel energized like the people who are more asleep to what's affecting them.
I can say I am NOT an empath because I do have the ability to put up inner barriers to protect myself, while the nature of those barriers are unclear, but basically a stepping back, disassociating myself from feelings while still (hopefully!) aware of them. It is harder to do this when I'm not alone where at most I'm taking in, but not well processing what I'm feeling/experiencing, and maybe then I have to physically retreat after a time, so probably this is all just being an introvert. But on sensitivity, for me this means even small experiences I don't understand might take days or weeks or even years of trying to integrate those experiences in wider memory. I've thought this integration/deprocessing is about letting different archetypal voices experience it through me, and tell me their interpretations and then my job is to bring them all together into some greater whole.
My men's group talked of the "Awareness wheel" that started from - observations (senses) -> evaluation/interpretation (thinking) --> inner reaction (feeling) --> outer reaction (action). That sequence is intended to suggest it can be our own thinking that defines our feelings rather than the initial sensory input. Perhaps the advantage of an empath is that he/she goes directly from senses to feelings, without the distortions from the thinking/judging mind?
It makes sense the thinking mind is a filter, and assigns words like GOOD and BAD to experience, which is helpful in reacting, but not necessarily accurate. That is our "defenses" not only protect us, but change how we see the world, and what parts of the world can affect us. Like a person with PTSD gets a "DANGER!" signal that may be inaccurate at present, while accurate to a past experience that wasn't deprocessed well. So at present reacts as if there is real danger and can cause more problems and real danger, like someone who runs or drives at high speeds away from police.

People who are compassionate feel with others. Society as a whole have lost their compassion. It is a shame we now have to categorize compassion into a small group of people called "empaths".
Welcome to LOVE!
How to be a balanced ,happy empath she says,hahaha. That's not the normal, everyday ex.of a real empath. We all are aware we have had or are having suicidal thoughts. It looks much like bi polar! How many gonna rejoice in bi polar? I'm an empath poster child who just did prison time. Check your sensitivity quick or die. That's the world. Pain is all I know. I have a few bright spots here and there. I tell you what happy empaths and those desiring. TAKE MINE! I LOATHE IT. ITS A NIGHTMARE! KISS IT GOODBYE,your hopes ,dreams , ambition, forget- it! Embracing my empath? May as well tell me embrace the darkness. Welcome to isolation,ostrzation,self loathing, overwhelming sense of worthlessness of all things. Bye crowds,bye social life. We have not even began. Figure out how to take anothers's ( blessing) super empathy- I FREELY VOLUNTEER MY OWN,TAKE IT. I WILL PAY YOU! Can't believe there's a name for this nor that it's being glorified. TO BE AN EMPATH IS TO BE A LIVING CURSE! I SAID IT! To be a real empath is to be CURSED! No playing games here. This the truth. Don't dare call me neg.for simply reading off a list of facts.
