Empaths are individuals who experience high sensitivity and attunement to the inner state and emotions of others. Throughout our lives we may have been labeled as “too sensitive “ and not embraced for these qualities leading us to see them as weaknesses. However, Empaths’ innate compassion, understanding, and accuracy in understanding others is a strength and skill set we can cultivate for the benefit of those we encounter. If we learn self compassion we can nurture ourselves, help others, and channel our empathic talents into our personal and professional lives. Judith Orloff’s “ The Empath’s Survival Guide “ provides a clear understanding of the Empath, and offers wonderful resources for balancing the qualities and gifts we exhibit in our lives. Join us for a discussion of this book, and about what life is like for an Empath. Facilitated by: Aviva Chansky Guttmann , LMSW, CIRT Certified Imago Relationship Therapist Free. For adults 18+. Call the library to sign up. More details... •
