Publisher's Synopsis
Empaths have so much to offer as healers, creatives, friends, lovers, and caregivers—yet highly sensitive and empathic people often give too much at the expense of their own well-being. "To stay healthy and happy as an empath," writes Judith Orloff, MD, "you must be ready with self-care practices that work." With Thriving as an Empath, Dr. Orloff brings you an essential companion for daily self-care created to help you protect yourself from the stresses of an overwhelming world, embrace the "gift of being different"—and let your extraordinary gifts flourish. Dr. Orloff offers a full year's worth of meditations, reflections, and journaling prompts to help you grow and thrive as an empath. You'll learn the art of keeping yourself balanced and centered by breaking the momentum of sensory overload, setting boundaries, and protecting your energy. As you progress, you'll discover secrets for drawing on new and empowering resources—with practices to help you tap into the energy of each season, the four elements, sacred time, and much more. "The practices I reveal have been life-saving for me and my patients," writes Judith Orloff. "I feel so strongly about daily self-care because I want you to enjoy the extraordinary gifts of sensitivity—including an open heart, intuition, and an intimate connection with the natural world.".
