This book is an essential read for successfully navigating the intricacies of empathy!
Reading ‘The Genius of Empathy' is like embarking on a transformative journey with Dr. Orloff as your guide. It is a personal exploration revealing the secrets of unlocking empathy as a daily healing practice.
I discovered ways to embrace my sensitivities without feeling drained. I found it to be a practical guide not just for highly sensitive individuals but for anyone eager to nurture empathy. Each chapter was a doorway, inviting you to explore empathic listening, conquer overthinking, and master the delicate dance of establishing healthy boundaries and practicing loving detachment to stave off overwhelm and compassion fatigue.
I am truly appreciative of the way Dr. Orloff walks you through recognizing and safeguarding yourself from individuals with 'empathy-deficient disorders' like narcissists, sociopaths, and bullies. This book empowers you to embody both strength and compassion, finding a middle ground that avoids being overly yielding or rigid.
