The Meaningful Life with Andrew G. Marshall

Judith Orloff: How To Be More Empathetic


Listen Later

In a world that often rewards toughness and detachment, could empathy actually be a hidden superpower?

This week, Andrew speaks with psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Judith Orloff about how empathy can become one of the most powerful tools for healing, personal growth and connection.

Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and energy medicine, Judith explains how anyone can deepen their empathic abilities, protect themselves from burnout, and create stronger, more authentic relationships.

Andrew and Judith discuss:

⭐ What it really means to be an empath (and how to tell if you are one)

⭐ Strategies to prevent empathy overload
⭐ The importance of boundaries for empaths. 

Dr. Judith Orloff is the New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Empathy and The Empath’s Survival Guide. Her upcoming children’s book The Highly Sensitive Rabbit, helps sensitive kids embrace their empathic gifts as a strength. Dr. Orloff is a psychiatrist, an empath and intuitive healer, and is on the UCLA Psychiatric Clinical Faculty.
