Have you ever been told to keep your gifts to yourself? What if the very thing you were taught to hide is actually the thing the world needs from you most?

On this episode of The Higher Self Hotline, Zoey talks with Dr. Judith Orloff, UCLA psychiatric faculty member and author of The Empath's Survival Guide and Second Sight, about what it actually means to be an empath and how to protect your energy day to day.

Dr. Orloff opens up about a family that told her to hide her intuitive gifts and the deathbed revelation that changed everything, then gets practical on the difference between empathy and being an empath, the tools she uses to stop absorbing everyone else's emotions, and why partnership can be hard for empaths.
