The Empath’s Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People

In The Empath’s Survival Guide, psychiatrist and empath Dr. Judith Orloff offers practical tools to help sensitive people thrive in a high-stimulus, often overwhelming world. The book includes self-assessments and strategies to manage emotional overload, build resilience, and embrace the strengths of being highly sensitive. Orloff explores how empaths can protect their energy in relationships, work, and daily life while staying open-hearted.
