What is the difference between having empathy and being an empath? “Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain,” says Judith Orloff, MD. “But for empaths it goes much further. We actually feel others’ emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most people have.” With The Empath’s Survival Guide, Dr. Orloff offers a practical tool set to help sensitive people develop healthy coping mechanisms in our high-stimulus world—while fully embracing the empath’s gifts of intuition, compassion, creativity, and spiritual connection.
This practical, empowering, and loving book was created to support empaths and anyone who wants to develop their sensitivities to become more caring people in an often-insensitive world. It helps empaths through their unique challenges and gives loved ones a better understanding of the needs and gifts of the sensitive people in their lives. In this book Dr. Orloff offers crucial practices, including
• Self-assessment exercises to help you identify your empath type
• Tools for protecting yourself from sensory overload, exhaustion, addictions, and compassion fatigue while replenishing your vital energy
• Simple and effective strategies to stop absorbing stress and physical symptoms from others and protect yourself from narcissists and other energy vampires
• How to find the right work and create relationships that nourish you
• How to navigate intimate relationships without feeling overwhelmed
• Guidance for parenting and raising empathic children
• Awakening the empath’s gift of intuition and deepening your spiritual connection to all living beings
For any sensitive person who’s been told to “grow a thick skin,” this paperback edition of The Empath's Survival Guide is an invaluable resource for staying fully open while building resilience, exploring your gifts of depth and compassion, and feeling welcome and valued by a world that desperately needs what you have to offer.

"As an author and teacher of mind-body training, Reiki, T'ai Chi, Qigong, and meditation, I am always on the lookout for insightful, practical books to share with my clients and students. A few years ago, I read Dr. Orloff's book "Emotional Freedom" and began recommending it to clients who found it tremendously helpful in working with difficult emotions and tapping into their emotional intelligence.
With "The Empath's Survival Guide" Dr. Orloff has delivered again. In fact, I think her writing style and message have matured and refined, so that this might be her best book yet.
For anyone who finds it challenging to be highly-sensitive and empathic, Dr. Orloff let's you know that it's O.K. You aren't weird and you're not alone. Your sensitivity is a powerful gift when you recognize it for what it is and hone your empathic skills. She also gives practical strategies for how to protect yourself from being overwhelmed by input from others and your environment and how to re-charge when you get "over-cooked."
I have purchased copies for all my Reiki students (people who tend to be highly-sensitive and empathic) and know that it will be a great support tool for our work.
Thank you again, Dr. Orloff"

- I have been a fan of Dr. Orloff's since l read "Second Sight" where I learned about being an Empath. From there, I discovered I was an HSP (Highly Sensitive Personality). I have always been told that I am too sensitive and that I need to grow a thicker skin. I had a friend that would become annoyed when I turned away from roadkill. She insisted that I send blessings. It was more than just the sight of the animal, but the fact I could feel everything in my body. As Dr. Orloff writes, "Empaths, however, take the experience of highly sensitive person further. We can sense subtle energy, which is called Shakti or Prana in Eastern healing traditions, and we absorb this energy into our own bodies. I have also been told, at times, I am a hypochondriac. Judith does a beautiful job of explaining why Empaths feel as we do. She gives mantras and activities to center and protect oneself throughout the book. I have read many books on Empaths, and Judith's book feels like a warm, reassuring hug. I agree with Dr. Orloff that empaths have diverse and beautifully nuanced sensitivities. "The Empaths Survival Guide" is a refreshing read on the subject of Empaths.
- It's amazing! After reading this I now understand several things about myself and my mother that we didn't get before.
Sadly, as a child my doctors misdiagnosed me as rapid-cycling bipolar disorder and subjected me to several useless medications to "fix" it. I spent 30 years trying to stop feeling so overwhelmed and exhausted.
Now that I've been using some of the meditation and other offered techniques, my "Over-Emotional issues" are no more. Turns out they weren't even my emotions. I now live in a quiet area outside the city with few neighbors and do a lot better. Also, this explains my constant cravings to be alone in nature and why I seem to bond so deeply with my animal companions. They get sick when I do and are energetic when I am.
It also explains why even though I like people and want to spend time with them, I get overwhelmed at loud, rambunctious events.
Thank you Judith for your insights and advice. I can now live in relative peace. - As an author and teacher of mind-body training, Reiki, T'ai Chi, Qigong, and meditation, I am always on the lookout for insightful, practical books to share with my clients and students.

Thank you again, Dr. Orloff - I know I will be reading this book over and over again. It affirms and validates who I am, after years of wondering why big, busy places make me dizzy and sick, why I am exhausted after being around too many people, why I feel every pain and joy so intensely, why people I've never met unload all of their life history and problems on me while waiting in line at the store, why I have to retreat into a quiet space to re-energize. I started the book last night, and already sense a bright shining light beaming over me. The strategies for handling the challenges of feeling and absorbing so much stimuli and energy are so simple, but never could I have imagined them on my own. I have tools now and I am relieved, joyful and grateful to have found this book.
