A NEW BOOK TO CRY OVER But only because noted psychiatrist Judith Orloff has a new book out called The Genius of Empathy:Practical Skills to Heal Your Sensitive Self, Your Relationships, and the World. In it, she is drawing on insights from neuroscience, psychology, and energy medicine, Dr. Orloff shows us how to access our sensitivities, soothe our nervous system, and stop absorbing the emotions of others. She begins with the magic of empathy to find greater self-love and healing–including from trauma. Subsequent chapters apply empathy to our relationships, communities, and the world. Exploring each chapter’s practices, you’ll learn the art of empathic listening, how to stop overthinking, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries and loving detachment to prevent overwhelm, burnout, and more. Find out more about Dr. Orloff here, she joins me at 1pm to discuss.
