The Empathy You’re Forgetting to Give Yourself: Self-Trust, Boundaries & Self-Empathy with Dr. Judith Orloff #291

Season #8

Empaths are often incredibly good at understanding everyone else. But how much of that empathy are you giving yourself? 

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda sits down with psychiatrist, bestselling author, and empath expert Dr. Judith Orloff for a conversation about empathy, boundaries, intuition, self-trust, and the importance of self-empathy.

Because caring deeply about other people doesn't require abandoning yourself.

Brenda and Dr. Judith Orloff - known as the Godmother of the Empath Movement, explore what it means to experience the world as an empath, why boundaries matter, how sensitive people can work with their nervous systems, and what changes when you begin extending some of the compassion you so readily offer other people toward yourself.

If you're someone who can understand everybody else's needs, feelings, reactions, and reasons—but still struggles to honor your own—this conversation is for you.
